Please remember that a polo shirt should be worn at all times during the school day. When it comes to outerwear, the only hoodies allowed are official HTLA hoodies, and we ask that any jackets you wear do not have a hood attached. Additionally, please keep your cell phones in your backpacks throughout the day so we can all stay focused on learning together.
Following these guidelines help create a consistent and distraction-free environment where everyone can succeed. Thank you for being an important part of our HTLA community!

Earlier this week, our boys' restroom was significantly damaged. Broken dispensers, wasted supplies, and debris left throughout the space. This affects everyone who uses that facility and requires time and resources to repair.
Our school is a shared space that belongs to all of us. When we take care of our learning environment, we're showing respect for ourselves, our classmates, and everyone who works here. We're also ensuring these spaces remain welcoming and functional for everyone. Most of our students demonstrate excellent citizenship every day, and we appreciate that. For those who may have been involved or witnessed this incident, we encourage you to reflect on how our actions impact our entire school community. Moving forward, let's continue building the positive, respectful environment that makes our school a place we can all be proud of. Together, we can ensure our school remains a place where everyone feels comfortable and respected.

We have observed trash being left throughout classrooms and lunch areas, students keeping phones in their pockets rather than storing them properly in backpacks, and inappropriate use of restroom facilities as social gathering spaces. Additionally, roughhousing and pushing among students is unacceptable behavior for our middle school community. School serves as our second home, and we must treat it and each other with respect. These behaviors not only disrupt our learning environment but also show a lack of consideration for our shared spaces and fellow students. Let's work together to create a more respectful, responsible community where everyone can thrive. We know our students are capable of much better, and we are counting on each of you to help us get back on track.
