​HAHS Students and Parents: This is just a reminder for our students and parents about our HAHS scholarship webpage that is located on our high school website. This page is continually updated throughout the school year to provide information for our students and parents about scholarship opportunities both locally and nationally. These scholarships range from a couple hundred dollars all the way up to full four year college tuition waivers. While many of our scholarships aren't due till the spring, there are still several that have due dates that are right around the corner. We encourage our our students to apply for as many scholarships as they can and also for students and parents to check the site often for the latest updates. To access the site, please go to our high school webpage and click on menu at the top of the screen. Our Scholarships page link is under the Academics tab. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1JyLCH_-DWJftxyki7eNPGiJ-JU63kxsbam1u_xbGUro/edit?usp=sharing

Veteran's Day Program Link: https://www.hoopeston.k12.il.us/2020-veterans-day-tribute--2

HAHS ​Students and Parents - News and Information As a reminder, this Thursday, November 12th we are looking forward to the return to in-person learning for all of our in-person learners. Students who chose remote learning will continue working remotely as normal for the remainder of the semester. Due to COVID-19, we will unfortunately not be able to hold our normal community Veteran's Day assembly as we have done in the past. However, on this special day tomorrow, we still want to be able to honor all of the outstanding men and women who have served our great country. Our fine arts department and our media department have been working over the last few months to get everything recorded to be able to provide a Veteran's Day program virtually for our community. It will be aired tomorrow on Veteran's Day at 9:00 am. It will be shown on New Wave Cable Channel 16. The video will also be linked to our school district webpage and left up for the entire day for people to view. It will be able to be accessed by going to our district webpage at www.hooopeston.k12.il.us Finally, picture retake day is Tuesday, December 1st from 11:00-12:00 for both in-person and remote learners, please mark your calendars!

HAHS Students: While we are remote learning, we will be taking attendance through our first hour classes. All students who were normally in-person will need to access your first-hour google classroom and answer the attendance question for this week. This will count for your attendance for the whole week. You will do this again at the beginning of next week to count for our days of remote learning next week. Students who were fully remote learners prior to this week will continue to use their normal remote learning google classroom as they have done in the past for attendance. Again, it is very important that students answer this question each week that we are remote learning as it will count as your attendance for each week until we return to in-person learning. As a reminder to all our students, while we are on remote learning, the work that is assigned does count and will affect your grades. So please make sure that you are checking your Google Classrooms and your school email daily for work and information. It is also important to know that even though we are remote learning, students still have the opportunity to make appointments with their teachers for help. Students can still set up appointments with their teachers to come into school and work one on one with them. We will be open from 8:00-12:00 and 1:00-3:30 each day for students to make appointments. Students can also set up virtual meetings with their teachers at any time with Google Meets or they can set up phone conferences as well. #CornjerkerPride

HAHS students this is just a reminder that PICTURE RETAKES will be on Monday, November 2nd. This will be for anyone who hasn’t had their picture taken yet or for anyone who wants their picture retaken. In order to have your picture retaken, you will need to bring in the uncut picture packet on the day of retakes and hand it to the photographer. If you would like an order form, please stop in the office to pick one up. The time slot to come in to have your picture taken is 8:45 to 9:15.
