HFA STANDARDIZED TESTING INFORMATION

For information on stardarized tests administered to HFA students, please click here.

HFA VILLAGE PARKING LOT STUDENT PICK UP PROCESS

HFA administration has decided to put back in operation the Village parking lot student pick up process which was created a couple years ago. Mr. Enright and/or HFA staff will be handing out printed diagrams showing the pick up process. Please follow this diagram and written instructions for picking up your student from the Village campus.

In addition, for those of you who pick students up in the lot accross Village Road behind the brick wall, HFA administration asks that you not park past the parking cones placed in the lot and do not block the drive waiting for your child.

Hopefully the above changes will make a much safer and more convenient traffic flow during dismissal.

VARSITY ATHLETIC PROGRAMS NEED VOLUNTEERS

Parents,

Ms. Scott is in desperate need of parents to help out with the sports programs. You don’t have to help for the whole year just with the sport your student participates in. I’m sure Ms. Scott would appreciate any and all help you could provide.

If you are interested in helping out you can contact Ms. Scott by phone 313-982-6200 ext. 2902 or email hscott@hfa.spfs.k12.mi.us
