Class of 2019, Congratulations on your well-deserved diplomas! Enjoy all the rights associated with being the newest HomeTech Charter alumni. May your life be filled with joy and success and may you always realize that, while you are leaving HomeTech Charter School, what you have learned in your years with us will never leave you. You have friends and memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you to all of our staff for the dedication you bring each day to our school. Your efforts make the difference in the lives of our students, and you should be proud of all the things you do to support their education. Congrats on a job well done! I wish you all a wonderful summer! Looking forward to welcoming families back in Paradise in August! Sincerely, Mike Ervin Principal/Superintendent

Living Hope Fellowship - packed house!
Our 8th grade promotion and our 12th grade graduation ceremonies will be tomorrow, Friday, May 31st at 6:00 P.M. in the Living Hope Fellowship Church located at 355 Panama Ave in Chico. We are very proud of our students and look forward celebrating with them and their families. We do not have as much seating in this facility as we have had in the past, so I would encourage you to come early to guarantee yourself a seat. Please be conscious that seating could be an issue as you invite additional people to the actual ceremony. Promotion and graduation practice will be held for our 8th and 12th grade classes at 10:30 at the Living Hope Fellowship Church. We look forward to seeing you tomorrow. Thank you and have a great night!

A package of bills – AB 1505, AB 1506, AB 1507, and SB 756 – has been proposed by Sacramento politicians that could impact hundreds of high-quality charter schools like ours throughout the state. Each of these bills has passed out of the Education Committee and may be voted on by legislators before the end of May. Taken together, these bills would eliminate the right of existing charter schools to appeal non-renewal decisions, grant districts broad and subjective discretion to deny new charter schools without regard to the quality of the new petition, and impose a five-year moratorium on new charter schools.

The testing schedule for our secondary students (grades 7-12) was sent home with your student and has been posted on our website under parent/student resources. Monday’s secondary test sessions have been scheduled for an hour and a half, and students should anticipate staying the entire time for each session. They can bring homework or something to read if they finish early. No phones will be allowed during the testing session even if the student has finished the test for the day. Students also can bring their own ear buds to use during the testing. All classes have been cancelled for the week.

HomeTech is opening a learning center in Paradise! HomeTech has been working with the Paradise Alliance Church located at 6491 Clark Rd., and they have graciously opened their doors to our students and families. HomeTech students can meet in room N201 every Thursday afternoon from 1:00 to 4:00. This will start tomorrow, Thursday, April 25th. This is completely voluntary and is meant to serve many purposes. Students can pick up packets, turn in work, gain support on work from a teacher, socialize with friends, play a game, and eat some food. This space will be provided for the rest of this school year for all of our families and their students every Thursday. It is our pleasure and privilege to serve our families in the Paradise/Magalia area. Room N201 is easily accessed from the north parking lot and is located on the 2nd floor. If you have any questions, please feel free to give us a call at 872-1171. Thank you, and we look forward to seeing you in Paradise!

Attendance sheets are due next week by Friday, March 15th at 12:00. The attendance sheet is the green sheet on which students circle the subject area in which they completed work for the day. Each attendance sheet is worth about $700 for HomeTech. Unfortunately, we did not receive many green sheets last month, and our attendance report to the state is due in April. Your help with this is much appreciated. I also want to ask families to help us update their information in Aeries. If you have a new phone number and/or address, please give us a call, and we will help you make sure all information in our system is current. Thank you and have a week end!

I want to remind your family about HomeTech's late work policy. Late work is accepted in all classes until the end of each grading period for at least partial credit. After the grading period ends, work will not be accepted. For example, the first grading period this semester ends this Friday, February 22nd at 3:00 P.M. Students are able to turn in late work for January and February until this time. After Friday, February 22nd at 3:00, students will not be able to submit any late work and a new grading period will begin. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our office, 872-1171. Thank you and have a great day!

Our staff at HomeTech has been listening to our families, and most of our families are saying they would appreciate flexibility in our scheduling and fewer days required at school. To accommodate those requests, we have developed a new master schedule for the second semester of this school year, and we will continue to offer an independent study option for all of our classes. I have posted our new master schedule on our website. Choose the menu option and click on the parent/student resources button. There also is a link to the schedule in our live feed section at the bottom of our homepage. The new schedule will begin Monday, January 14th. Please be sure to review the schedule, so you come to school at the correct time. As always, feel free to give our office a call with any questions you may have 872-1171. Thank you and have a great weekend! https://5il.co/660q
