Coming to the Dance? 

Why not volunteer?

 

Horace Mann LOVES our volunteers!  We'd love if you'd not only come and have fun, but sign up for a volunteer slot to help set up, clean up, or sell concessions!  Please sign up here and we'll see you there.

What did your kid(s) like the most from the Science Fair?

 
We hope you and your family had a chance to present or attend the Science Fair last Thursday. We heard a good buzz around during the event and it was definitely a successful event thanks to all of those young scientists who presented their projects. 

 

We want to hear from you about what you and your kids liked and what can be improved next time. Please click here 

(https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/PXJLMBM) to complete a short survey (less than 5min) that will allow us to learn what the Horace Mann community wants to keep and change for the next Science Fair. 

 


Website Admin & Newsletter Editor Volunteer needed for 2015-2016 

 

We are looking for parent volunteer(s) to serve as the PTSA Website Administrator and Newsletter editor for the 2015-2016 school year. As website administrator, you will work closely with our PTSA board and committee members to maintain our website. As newsletter editor you will assemble articles using Constant Contact.

 

If you have any questions about either or both of these roles, or if you would like to help with this, please contact Tamara Trepte at website@HoraceMannPTSA.org.


SBA Testing Dates

 

3rd-5th grade parents,

Please mark the following dates on your calendar.  It is essential all 3rd-5th grade students attend these days of school for the Smarter Balanced Assessment (SBA).  Please make doctor appointments on other days or before or after school.  The SBA has an interesting component to it.  One of the testing days involves a whole class performance task, which will usually mean a class discussion.  If students miss these sessions, it will be extremely difficult to re-create these discussions in a make-up session.  Your help in making sure your child is attending school well-rested, healthy and fed on these days is much appreciated.
