If adopted by voters, Measure AS will allow AUSD to address the educational priorities the Arcadia community has identified, such as continuing to provide clean water, safe classrooms and school sites, preparing students for college and careers, and requiring all funds be spent on Arcadia schools.
Many of Arcadia’s schools were built nearly 60 years ago and have urgent repair needs. Measure AS will address the most urgent health and safety repairs needed in our neighborhood schools. The last couple of years have seen a record number of school shootings in the U.S. We need to keep our schools, students, and staff safe. In addition, we have other significant safety concerns, such as repairing aging roofs, plumbing, restrooms, and deteriorating gas and sewer lines; removing asbestos and lead paint; updating outdated electrical systems and security and fire systems; and making earthquake safety repairs and improvements.

The Highland Oaks Hawk Walk is a walk/run-a-thon fundraiser. This school year it will be held on Thursday, November 7th. Participation is encouraged for all students. However, if you do not wish for your child to participate in this event, please notify your teacher. Funds raised from Hawk Walk will benefit every Highland Oaks student with literacy enhancement, playground equipment, technology support, art/classroom supplies, and educational field trips.
Please support your child’s participation in the Hawk Walk. Accompany your child(ren) as they solicit donations from neighbors or family members. Encourage your child to do their best on the day of Hawk Walk and celebrate with them. Students will have 15-20 minutes to complete as many laps as they can. In the past, most children have averaged about 15-20 laps. If you receive pledge money up front, please check off the “Paid” column above and place it in this envelope.
Cash, checks or payments via Konstella will be accepted. Please make checks payable to HOPTSA. All contributions are tax-deductible. HOPTSA Tax ID# 95-6205204.
Return this envelope with the pledges to your child’s teacher by Wednesday, October 30th or make payments on Konstella HERE. If there are any remaining pledges to be collected, the envelope will be returned home after Hawk Walk.

Reflections
The Reflections program provides opportunities for recognition and access to the arts which boost student confidence and success in the arts and in life.
Students create original works of art that reflect a theme. This year's theme is "Accepting Imperfection" This 50+ year-old program helps them explore their own thoughts, feelings and ideas, develop artistic literacy, increase confidence and find a love for learning that will help them become more successful in school and in life.
Categories and Divisions
Students participate in the appropriate division for their grade: Primary (TK - Grade 2), Intermediate (Grades 3-5), Accessible Artist (All grades welcome).*
Students can submit in one or more of the categories: Dance Choreography, Film Production, Literature, Music Composition, Photography, Visual Arts.
Entries will be judged among other entries from Highland Oaks Elementary School students. If selected, then entries advance to the Arcadia School District level, and can continue to advance to Regional, State and National level.
Works of art should reflect the theme "Accepting Imperfection"
