Dear Parents, Students and Staff:

17606 N. 7th Avenue, Phoenix, AZ 85023 I hearnacademy.org

Happy new school year!

"Meet the Teacher Night" is from 5-7 p.m. on Tuesday, August 2. This a great opportunity for you to come to campus and personally visit with your child's new teacher, talk with Specials teachers, meet the principal, and learn about our school. Most of you are returning parents, but, please mark this evening as a special event and join us as to celebrate the opening of school for 2016-17. You are welcome to ask questions about homework, our curriculum and perhaps trade/purchase uniforms. We encourage our families to join PTSA and sign up to volunteer at our school.

Supplemental parking will be offered at Stone Creek Church which is located just north of Hearn Academy on 7th Avenue. Please park in their south lot and walk over to campus if the parking under the solar cover are taken; we appreciate your cooperation with our limited parking availability.

The first day of school starts at 8:10 am on August 4, 2016 this year. Coming back to school is an exuberant time for all of us at Hearn Academy because we have exceptional teachers, dedicated support personnel and a very committed leadership team. Thank you for choosing Hearn Academy for your child's education.

Our families and friends make The Hearn Academy a very special place to work. Together, our school has a mission that includes modeling high expectations, treating each other with respect and showing a caring attitude towards others.

Uniforms are required for all students every day. There have been changes made for the upcoming school year to the dress code. Parents, please review the guidelines annually at www.hearnacademy.org starting July 15th, 2016.

Our school is A rated and we pride ourselves on building good citizenship and taking personal responsibility for our actions. Our pledge to our parents is to listen to your concerns and make this the most successful school year ever! Welcome back to Hearn Academy where "children are the priority" and parents are our partners.

Regards,

Principal
