Message From the Principal
Dear Parents,
Our principal, Sherron Gladden, has announced her retirement effective the end of this school year. Sherron has had a
long and distinguished career in Loudoun County Public School. Her contributions at Harmony over the intermediate and
middle school years has been enormous. We celebrate and value the life and career of Sherron Gladden and wish her the
very best in her years of retirement. Dr. Markley, as acting principal, will finish out the current school year.
Effective July 1st, we are delighted to announce that Mr. Eric Stewart will be the new principal at Harmony. Mr. Stewart has
a long and successful career in Loudoun. He has already served as an elementary school principal, and he opened Smarts
Mill Middle. Currently, he is the Director of Curriculum and Instruction of Loudoun County Public Schools.
The final grading period began April 8th. It is very important for your child to be present and to stay focused in these last
few weeks. The teachers are working very hard to prepare students for the upcoming SOL tests and exams during classes,
before or after school and during Resource periods. Please have your children take advantage of these opportunities.
30th
30th.
The SOL tests will be given April
-May
Please check elsewhere in this newsletter or on the website for the
specific days for each test. It is extremely important that your child is present on the days of the SOL tests. Please make
sure that they are well rested and have had a good breakfast.
May 6th – 10th is Teacher Appreciation Week. The PTA has planned a week of recognition in appreciation of the Harmony
faculty. Thanks to everyone who is helping to make this a great week for our teachers! We are fortunate to have many
dedicated professional educators at Harmony. Please take a moment to thank a teacher for their hard work and dedication
– encourage your children to do the same. May 8th is National School Nurse Day. Our nurse is a critical part of our mission
to educate students in a healthy environment. For many students, she is an important part of their daily health care.
Please take a moment to thank her for these services.

As the weather gets warmer, please remind your child of the school dress code. Not all items that are in fashion are
appropriate for school – especially the short tops and shorts. A good rule of thumb is, if there is a question about the
appropriateness of an item – don’t wear it! Or at least bring a change of clothing.

Finally, the last day of school is June 6th. Exams will be given in algebra, geometry and foreign languages June 3th-6th. All
students are expected to be present for the exams on the designated days. Early exams are not an option. The school
calendar is published a year in advance to allow families to plan for vacations, etc. so, hopefully, it will not be a problem.

Report cards will be mailed home on June 12th. With the report cards, you will receive a second copy of the course
selections for next year if your student will be at Harmony. It is essential that you review this information, and let us know if
there are any changes or corrections that need to be made. After June 19th, changes may not be approved if classes are
full. All students will receive information regarding expunging the course and the grade for high school course taken this
year. If your child took a high school credit course this year, please read the information carefully. If you wish to expunge,
it must be done according to the timeline outlined in the letter.

Finishing strong this year is the goal for which we are all striving. There are some fun incentives for students who put forth 
their best effort during the last few weeks. We are also working to plan for grade level field days to celebrate the end of the
year. Thank you in advance to the PTA and all the parents who are helping with these events. We greatly appreciate all
the parental support and involvement this year.
Sincerely,
Edgar Markley

The primary responsibility for proper attire and grooming of
students rests with the parent of each student. However, the
school has the responsibility to see that students do not
present a health or safety risk to themselves or other
students. The attire and grooming of students should not
prevent them from performing regularly required school
activities, and should not cause a disruption of the orderly
functioning of school. Remember also, the more casual the
attire, the more casual the attitude toward school.
With this in mind, the following rules will be in effect:

All shirts, sweaters and blouses should cover the
shoulders, midriff, chest area and underarms. All tank
tops and spaghetti strap tops are unacceptable, as well
as some sleeveless tops.

See-through and swim attire are inappropriate.

Short shorts and short skirts are inappropriate.

Underwear exposed or worn as outerwear is
unacceptable.

Pants should be an appropriate length and not dragging
the ground.

Clothing that degrades any person's gender, culture,
religion and occupation is unacceptable.

Clothing that depicts or promotes pornography, alcohol,
drugs, tobacco, profanity, violence or cult/gang activities
is unacceptable.

Gang-related articles/dress such as bandanas, wallet
chains, headbands, rolled up pants, and jewelry are
unacceptable.

Hats or head coverings may not be worn in the building.

Any type of attire including hair color and make-up that
is viewed by the administration as a disruption to the
school environment is unacceptable.

Team Orion
Students are reading up a storm in English class while
they prepare to rock the Reading 8 SOL. They are working
on their media literacy while challenging themselves by
reading The Giver or Fahrenheit 451. As writers, they
are preparing to publish a piece of their writing!
In civics, the economics unit is in full swing and moving
quickly. Each student received a syllabus with an outline of
this unit; it's a great place to check for assignments as well
as the Harmony website. Students have studied what
economics are and different types of businesses. They are
now analyzing supply and demand, US production and will
tour the world’s global economy and discuss its effects on
the US.
Science students are moving at top speed in chemistry.
They were able to view what happens when sodium comes
into contact with water! Students will be learning how and
why certain elements bond as well as begin to balance
equations. As the Science 8 SOL is fast approaching, visit
the Harmony website in order to help review for the 6th and
7th grade portions on the test.
Team Phoenix
Civics classes are working on Economics as the May 13th
SOL test date approaches. English classes are
concentrating on reading and creative writing, with a unit on
media manipulation. Science students have investigated the
periodic table and are learning about how the elements bond
together. They will stay engaged in their lessons through labs
as they work towards the SOL to be taken on May 16th.
8th Grade News
Team Taurus
The team teachers want to wish all our students a happy
fourth quarter! There are challenges left to the school year
that we want you to stay focused for and try your best. The
Reading SOL is on May 7th, the Civics SOL is on May 13th,
and the Science SOL is on May 16th. We hope all students
get a good night's rest and a good breakfast. We know
you can do well! In other news, civics is moving into economics, science is moving into bonding, having just finished with atoms, and English students are drafting a
piece to be published.
The countdown for the end of the year is on! It will be a
monumental event because this is the first group of students to begin as 6th graders and graduate as 8th graders
from Harmony Middle School. As a result, all of the 8th
grade staff is working on ways to close out the year and
celebrate the fabulous academic careers our 8th grade students have had at Harmony. Be on the lookout for information and ways to help.
Please do not hesitate to call the school or email with
questions or concerns. Christina.Thompson@lcps.org or

Math students are beginning to peek into
geometry. Simultaneously, they continue
to review for SOLs. Science students will
be learning about the environment. As they
finish ecology, the students will have the option of
dissecting both an earthworm and a frog. Students who
decline animal dissection should bring in a signed note
from his or her parent or legal guardian., and
accommodations will be made.
Congratulations to all those who participated in the
amazing Poetry Slam, an outstanding start to what will
become an annual event. Students are beginning the
Research Unit by thinking of colleges or careers of interest
and creating questions for the final project. SOL Camp
begins soon, so students can have fun as they review for
the test. The survey of, “How Am I Doing?” is complete,
and results will be shared within each language arts block.
In history, students have finished exploring the tragedy,
turmoil, and triumph of WWII. They are now venturing into
the Post War Era and The Cold War.
Team Pegasus
US History students saw World War II
come to a close and learned how the
war impacted the US back on the home
front. Students learned about the Post-War "boom" with
the introduction to the atom bomb, a booming economy,
and the arrival of the baby boomers! The next unit covers
the Cold War era, the Korean and Vietnam Conflicts, and
the fall of the Soviet Union.
English students are wrapping up the unit on poetry
terms, and are moving into a “Cram Party” for the SOL on
May 8th. Students will work with commonly missed
concepts from the benchmarks in an effort to increase
confidence and critical thinking skills.
Science students completed their genetics unit with
awesome scores! They are currently learning about
adaptations in birds, dinosaurs, penguins, dandelions and
cactus! Soon, they will be exploring bacteria and viruses,
as well as protists and fungi.

Ursa Major
Science students are wrapping up study
of adaptations and will be focusing on
ecology as well as the plant and animal
kingdoms for the remainder of the quarter. A power point project on Biomes will be assigned in May. If you do not have
power point on your home computer, please consider downloading the freeware version. On the horizon, earthworm and
frog dissection!
In English, students are completing a poetry unit. After learning about it, writing it, competing in a classroom and then
team poetry slam, two slammers, McKenna Morin and Audrey
Birch, won their respective competitions. The next project
involves research for the College in Seven Plan.

English students are creating their own poetry
books. They are also working on a book project
as it relates to poetry. SOL study sessions are
underway. In science, students have left space and moved
on to energy. In social studies, students are studying the
major events and major players in the Civil War. Math students are finishing up the year working on probability and
statistics. They are reading and creating graphs as well as
refreshing mean, median, mode and range in addition to
having studied probability.
Team Hercules
In English, classes continue to read and write
poetry. SOL review is ramping up. Please
make sure your child is getting some sustained
reading time in every night! In science,
throughout the energy unit, students investigate what
energy is and how it is used. The "Egg Drop” activity will
reinforce potential energy, kinetic energy and the transfer of
energy. In math, students are working on probability and
statistics. They are reading and creating graphs as well as
refreshing mean, median, mode and range in addition to
studying probability. Jefferson Lab assignment is still due
every Saturday. Students can practice their SOL test
online. In history, students have finished up Westward
Expansion and are moving on to the Civil War. Please
point out local Civil War sites near your home as we are
surrounded by them!
Team Scorpion
English classes are learning about different types
of poems and poetic devices, and comparing and
contrasting texts. Students also will write an essay relating their independent reading book to a song.
Math classes are ending a unit on probability and going
into statistics. Students need to continue working on Jlabs
as they begin to review for SOL testing. In history, students are studying the Civil War, their last unit of the
year. SOL review will begin at the end of April. In science,
students will be investigating what energy is and how it is
used throughout the energy unit. They will also be using
the "egg"citing hands on “Egg Drop” activity to reinforce
potential energy, kinetic energy and the transfer of energy.
6th Grade News
The Class of 2019 is entering their final month as 6th Graders! This year has gone unbelievably fast! Thank you to
all the parents that donated snacks to our March Madness
Activity. It was a huge success. April was filled with final
lessons and tons of review for the SOL’s. May and the first
week of June will be action packed.
The Reading 6 SOL is May 9th, Social Science 6 is
May 15th, Math 6 is May 22nd, and Math 6 Accelerated is
May 24th. Please make sure your child is completing their
JLabs for math and their SOL Pass for Social Studies.
These are fantastic tools to help students review and feel
more confident. It is imperative that the night before each
test students go to bed early and get a good night’s sleep.
It is equally as important to eat a good breakfast. Studies
have shown that these two things will greatly improve a
students standardized test scores.
During the last week of May and first week of June, we will
be recognizing students for their hard work and dedication
to their academics. Team teachers and peers will be giving awards to selected students during resource class the
last week of May. The first week of June will be our annual
SOL reward days. The better performance both academically and on SOLs, the more time outside during our free
activity days will be awarded. Parent volunteers will be
sought to help assist in these activities. The dates assistance is needed are June 3rd-5th. Times are yet to be determined.
As always thank you for your support. Have a wonderful
summer and I look forward to 7th Grade with the Class of
2019!

SCA RETREAT
12th,
On Friday, April
31 members of the Harmony Student Council Association and their advisors set out to attend their
first retreat at Bears Den. The retreat enabled the students to become energized, more acquainted with one other, and
most importantly, learn about leadership. After a 30 minute hike up the mountain and a welcome by their president, Molly
Warndorf, the members were divided into groups and had much fun participating in a mad lib icebreaker that required public speaking. They participated in several indoor and outdoor team building activities which helped to develop trust, character, and good listening skills.
During a working pizza lunch, the groups had an opportunity to assess the projects they sponsored this year and discuss
suggestions for activities in the future. After lunch and one final outdoor team building activity, the members packed up
and headed down the trail where they delighted in a beautiful view of the Blue Ridge area. When they returned to school,
there was a wrap up session in the auditorium, where everyone could process the activities of the day and discuss some of
the suggestions for activities next year.
The retreat was definitely a success, and the SCA will plan to host another session in the fall.

Harmony Outreach
Thank you to everyone who participated in the Share and
Shop Event at Woodgrove. So many staff members and
parents cleaned out their closets and donated their unwanted clothing and household items. In turn, so many families
in the community who cannot afford to go out and purchase
the items were able to come and shop for free. The event
was a huge success.
Thank you,
Rhonda Lough
Parent Liaison
Rhonda.Lough@lcps.org
"The team came into the Odyssey season with their sights
set on making it to the Worlds level of competition. Since
September, they have been focused on that goal and as a
team have worked together countless hours to make it reality. I am so thrilled that all their efforts are paying off and
they now have a chance to represent Harmony Middle
School -- and the State of Virginia -- at Worlds next month."
Stated head coach Kim Ramsey.
An interesting fact that she thinks plays into the team's success is the kids have been together for a long time and
know each other well. Two have been on the team since
second grade, two joined in third; and two in fifth. The last
member is new this year, but they have all seven been in
school together since kindergarten (some since preschool).
They know each other’s strengths and have an amazing
chemistry together.
A big thank you goes out to the Harmony PTA and SCA who
have pledged to help greatly defer the costs of the trip to
Lansing, Michigan, the site for the world competition. Harmony community, we need your help to get
the team the rest of the way. We will be having several
"Spirit Nights" at Purcellville businesses who have pledged
to donate a percentage of the profits from that night’s
sales. In order to make sure the Odyssey team receives the
proceeds, you must tell the cashier or waitress that you are
from Harmony. Come out and support the team!
