HSA Katy will be holding a Thanksgiving Food Drive which will run November 16th to 20th. Each grade level is requested to bring certain items (please see flyer below). The grade level that donates the most items will receive free dress for every Friday during the month of December. Let’s help those in need during this holiday season!
Applications for the 2021-2022 school year opened on Nov. 1st, so if you have any siblings you’d like to apply for, please do so and make sure to check off the choice asking if the applicant has a “sibling currently attending” so they can receive sibling priority. Failure to check this option will result in the new applicant not receiving priority status.
Also, please note that this is only for new incoming students. If your child already attends Harmony, you DO NOT have to fill out an application. Returning students will complete a Re-Enrollment Form which will be sent by the registrar in January 2021. If you have any questions, please reach out to Ms. Delgado at edelgado@harmonytx.org
