Questions About Re-Enrollment?
Why do I need to re-enroll?
By letting us know your student will be coming back to Harmony in 2021-2022, you’ll skip the lottery process and automatically guarantee your child’s spot for next school year!
Who should submit a re-enrollment notice?
The parent/guardian of any current Harmony student who plans to stay at the same campus next school year or who will advance to a “feeder” campus in the new school year (ex. advancing from elementary campus to nearest middle school campus). Students wishing to change to a new, non-feeder campus for other reasons (ex. closer to home) in 2021-2022 should apply through our open enrollment website before February 10.
How do I re-enroll?
Families can submit their re-enrollment notification January 4-22 through the Skyward link at the top of their campus website or by clicking the link in this email. Families without internet or Skyward access should contact their campus for assistance in re-enrolling.
What happens if a parent does not submit their re-enrollment information before the deadline?
If a parent misses the deadline to complete the re-enrollment process, then the student must apply during Open Enrollment (Nov. 1, 2020 through Feb. 10, 2021) at HarmonyTX.org/Apply.
La reinscripción comienza el 4 de enero del 2021
Todo lo que necesita para completar su reinscripción es su inicio de sesión de padres y comprobante de residencia. Esto es para asegurar el lugar de su hijo/a para el año escolar 2021-2022.
La fecha límite para enviar su formulario a través
de Skyward es el 22 de enero del 2021.

- Factura de servicios públicos actual que indica la dirección y el nombre de los ocupantes de residencia.

Preguntas sobre ¿Reinscripción?
¿Por qué debo volver a inscribirme?
Si nos hace saber que su hijo/a regresará a Harmony en 2021-2022, se saltará el proceso de lotería y garantizará automáticamente el lugar de su hijo/a para el próximo año escolar.
¿Quién debe enviar un aviso de reinscripción?
El padre / tutor de cualquier estudiante actual de Harmony que planea permanecer en la misma escuela el próximo año escolar o que avanzará a un campus “alimentador” en el nuevo año escolar (por ejemplo, avanzando desde el campus de primaria hasta el campus de secundaria más cercano). Los estudiantes que deseen cambiarse a un campus nuevo, no alimentado por otras razones (por ejemplo, más cerca de casa) en 2021-2022 deben presentar su solicitud a través de nuestro sitio web de inscripción abierta antes de 10 del febrero.
¿Cómo me reinscribo?
Las familias pueden enviar su notificación de reinscripción del 4 al 22 del enero a través del Skyward enlace en la parte superior del sitio web de su campus o haciendo clic en el enlace de este correo electrónico. Las familias sin acceso a Internet o Skyward deben comunicarse con su campus para recibir ayuda para volver a inscribirse.
¿Qué sucede si un padre no envía su información de reinscripción antes de la fecha límite?
Si un padre no cumple con la fecha límite para completar el proceso de reinscripción, entonces el estudiante debe presentar la solicitud durante la Inscripción Abierta (del 1 de noviembre del 2020 al 10 de febrero del 2021) en HarmonyTX.org/Apply.

Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics Initiative (T-STEM)
Texas Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (T-STEM) Academies are rigorous secondary schools focusing on improving instruction and academic performance in science and mathematics-related subjects and increasing the number of students who study and enter STEM careers. T-STEM Academies are demonstration schools and learning labs that develop innovative methods to improve science and mathematics instructions.
Prior to the 2011-2012 school year, the only path to become a T-STEM Academy was a T-STEM Academy grant through the Texas Education Agency or one of the private partners in the Texas High School Project.
Beginning with the 2011-2012 school year, a second pathway was created. Campuses, using local or other sources of funding, that are implementing the T-STEM Design Blueprint with fidelity may apply to be designated as a T-STEM Academy. T-STEM campuses are designated based on a rigorous designation process. Once a campus is designated, professional development and technical assistance are provided to designated T-STEM academies to serve as demonstration schools and learning labs to showcase innovative instruction methods which integrate technology and engineering into science and mathematics instruction. Designated T-STEM campuses serve students in grades 6-12 or 9-12.
