For the month of November, we have decided to change gears and host a zoo field trip because it will be more accessible for location and cost compared to the Wild Animal Sanctuary. To RSVP for the Denver Zoo Field Trip please submit a Field Trip Form.
The Denver Zoo trip will be Monday, November 11 and Tuesday, November 12 at 10am! The cost is $5 for adults and students, children under 3 will be free, and payment will be made at the zoo. If ou have a zoo membership, there is no additional cost. either day ends up being a snow day, the makeup date is Wednesday November 13 and you will receive further information. HSC is organizing the trip but will not be attending. You may stay however long you would like (open til 4pm); there are restaurants to buy food or you can bring a sack lunch.
*Please RSVP by Wednesday, November 6th! The only way to RSVP is by filling out a Field Trip Form. The zoo likes to have as close to an accurate count because they host many groups*
For our Leadership class who worked hard at raising money for the Wild Animal Sanctuary they will be offered a separate field trip where the money they raised will be donated in person. Ms. Elona will email Leadership parents directly regarding this Field Trip.
Contact Ms. Elona with any questions! efish@wwahomeschool.org

This semester our topics are open! So think about what you'd like to talk about with our Director in charge of this wonderful program. To RSVP for a Chat with Chelsea please fill out a Chat with Chelsea form. (Next Semester dates will fall on Monday, Tuesday, and Thursday)
Picture Retakes are on the following days:
To request a picture retake please fill out Picture Retake Form. Please fill out one per student. It does NOT have to be the day on which your student attends HSC. Please fill out the form one week prior to the picture retake day so that we can have an accurate count of students for Lifetouch.

HSC follows Jeffco schools for closures, so you can check local news stations and Jeffco’s website for school closures. We will also contact you using the Jeffco automated system, which uses your information from Jeffco Connect so please make sure that is current. It is HIGHLY recommended that you select Text, Phone, and Email under Notifications.
However, our staff and families drive from all over to attend our program, so there are times when HSC might have a delayed start, early release, or no classes outside of Jeffco's decision. When that happens, you will be notified using the JeffcoSchool Messenger system through Jeffco Connect.
Our families safety is our number one priority. If you do not feel safe driving to HSC on a snowy day at school day, please stay home and do what’s best for your family. We will excuse all absences as long as you email us at attendance@wwahomeschool.org.
We will always try to notify you as early as we possibly can if we have a snow day. However, sometimes the snow accumulation becomes more severe during the commute and a decision has to be made to best protect all In order to make sure you are being notified as soon as a decision is made, please make sure your Jeffco Connect Account is up to date, and your Notifications Preferences are set to Phone, Email, and Text.
Class changes for second semester will be open Friday, November 22nd until Monday, January 20th. Second semester class schedules will be released in the upcoming weeks. To submit a class change please visit our website wwahomeschool.org on the afternoon of the 22nd to access the class change form.

This year we introduced a new class to our 4th - 6th graders called Leadership. This class is designed around the idea of how can our HSC students make a positive influence on their school and in their community?
Two months into the semester and we are already so proud of them! Our Westminster and Evergreen students came up with different fundraiser ideas to help raise money for the Wild Animal Sanctuary. In Westminster we had a car wash and in Evergreen they ran a bake sale. Together they raised over $400 to donate to the sanctuary!
For the second year in a row our 6th graders joined Woodrow Wilson Academy at Camp IdRaHaJe for Outdoor Lab! Our 6th graders learned Team Building skills, rappelling, and how to concur the high ropes course! It was really cool to see our 6th graders from all our different locations come together and be apart of this really cool experience. They are already talking about a potential reunion trip before the end of the school year!
