February 15th -
School is canceled for Haven USD 312 today due to the weather.
In the past our OW Calendar was tied to other school districts so we could not always adjust the calendar to reflect weather related cancellations or other days off. We are now, however, able to add changes after the start of the school year for USD 312, so today's cancellation will show as soon as the OW Calendar updates. Stay Safe!
February 2019
Students should have all work completed through today's date to be on target and in good standing. Parents, please continue to complete the daily OW check on a regular basis to view your child's progress and grades in each course. As we have shared before, students who have the accountability part in place at home are much more successful. Let's work together to help your child do his or her best!
P.E. Log Reminder -
Students should continue to put in one hour of physical activity each school day for an average of five hours each week during the semester for credit. Keep track each day on the HVA P.E. Log so that it is ready to submit at the end of the semester when it is due.
Monday, Feb. 11 - No School for students who are on target -
Students must have all work dated through January 8th completed in order to take the day off from school. Note that teachers will be available again on Tuesday.
Thursday, Feb 28 - End of Third Quarter - School is in session!
Students need to have all work dated through February 28th completed. It is VERY important to keep up each day and especially now was we will start the last quarter of the school year.
Looking Ahead: State Testing is required for all 3rd-8th graders, and 10th and 11th graders. Those in the Hutchinson area will test on Wednesday, March 13th. Watch email for more details. We will also have a testing site in the KC area at the Johnson County Library most likely that same week. We are still working on the details.
Please make arrangements to have your child at the testing site on the scheduled testing date. Continue to watch email for updates.
Looking Ahead:
No School:
Friday, March 1
Friday, March 8
March 16-24 - HVA Spring Break - OW will not be available over this break.
Move with Purpose
Boost Productivity. Improve Behavior. Relieve Anxiety
Students of all ages should take short BRAIN BREAKS between assignments. Studies show students who get up and move for a few minutes between classes/lessons do much better than those who remain sedentary. BRAIN BREAKS boost productivity, improve behavior, and enhance focus so students can do their best.
