Welcome to the Home Academy Association!
Welcome to the Home Academy Association!
The Home Academy Association (HAA) is a collaborative group of dedicated parents, guardians, (yourself included!) and staff working together to support our school community. We organize events, facilitate communication between families and the school, and engage in fundraising activities to enhance our children’s educational experience. Our goal is to foster a strong, supportive community where all students and our school can thrive.
As a member of the school community, you are part of the HAA. This means that your involvement is essential to the success of the HAA and the enrichment of our school community. We encourage you to participate in school events, to volunteer and we welcome all suggestions or ideas you may have along the way!
Alongside you, we have a leadership team of parent volunteers who help guide HAA efforts throughout the year. Each of us brings different strengths, but we all share the same goal of building a strong, connected school community.
