Dear Parents & Guardians,
Harmony Science Academy-Cypress was informed Thursday that a few, small inspection requests will need to be completed before we can officially open our doors to families in our new Cy-Fair home for the 2019-2020 school year.
Therefore, we will not be able to begin our school year Monday, August 26.
We believe our families deserve our full transparency, so we wanted to provide additional details on the requests made by the inspection team:
-
Changes to signage: Add address number to outside of building, reposition exterior sign to point toward street, add more specific names to utility room doors.
-
Minor Repair: Add plastic caps to exterior pipes to prevent debris collection, complete sidewalk pour from fourth exit to playground, change hinges on utility room door to make self-closing, caulk one-inch hole in gym wall.
-
Other: Complete installation of fire safety box to front gate, repaint red stripe near dismissal line, add acoustic padding to gym to eliminate possible echo during fire tests, adjust description setting on fire alarm control panel.
As you can see, these requests are reasonable and easily addressed. Most have already been completed since Thursday’s walk-through. However, due to the availability of the inspection team, the building cannot be reinspected until Monday morning.
While we are disappointed by the delay as we are sure you are, our staff is fully prepared – and very excited – to begin the 2019-2020 school year in our state-of-the-art new Cy-Fair home as soon as we receive a final thumbs up.
We’ll keep you informed as soon as we learn more from the inspection team Monday.
Thank you for your patience and thank you for being a part of the Harmony family.
Sincerely,
Evangelena Taylor | Principal
Harmony Science Academy – Cypress
Dear Parents & Guardians,
Due to an unexpected scheduling delay in the building inspection process, we must inform you that the first day of school for Harmony Science Academy-Cypress will no longer be this week.
We recognize that this delay may be an inconvenience for some of our families. However, our top priority is creating a safe, welcoming environment where learning flourishes and students benefit from the most state-of-the-art resources and facilities available.
Our projected first day of school will be Monday, August 26. We expect to be able to provide an update to parents early Friday with more details.
Finally, we would like to thank all of the families who participated in our campus orientation earlier this week. It was a pleasure meeting so many new faces. We can’t wait to get to know your families even better this school year in our new Cy-Fair home.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Evangelena Taylor | Principal
