OFFICE HOURS
The main office is open from 7:30-3:15.
SCHOOL SUPPLIES
Arlington Public Schools will continue to supply school supplies for 2019-20. The district recognizes that purchasing school supplies has been an increasing demand for our families and a financial hardship for some. Because we ask for community support for our schools through levies and other fundraising activities, school supplies (including supplies to complete class projects at home) will be provided by our schools. The only items middle school students will need to provide are a binder, dividers, pencils and PE uniforms (grey t-shirt and navy blue shorts).
SAFEVISITOR
As we return to school you will experience some continued and important security changes: We have added Safe Visitor to our check-in process. Similar to all other schools in Arlington, you must scan your ID and obtain a visitor pass to wear at the main office if you with to enter the instructional area. If you are on campus to pick up your student, please visit the main office so we can ensure custodial permissions exist prior to the student leaving campus. To enter Haller Middle School while classes are in session, visitors and late entry students will have to press the button at the main entrance and speak to a staff member prior to being "buzzed in." Late students must check in at the tardy kiosk in the main office prior to going to class. Thank you for stopping into the main office with every visit, regardless of your purpose - we're always glad to see you and check you in!
We fully understand these changes may not be the most convenient for every visit you make, but the additional security it affords is crucial for helping us provide the safest campus possible for your student each day. Thank you in advance for you understanding and cooperation with our new campus security procedures.
If you plan on chaperoning a field trip, a dance, a Hootenanny, being a classroom volunteer, or being on campus for any extended time period, you will need to complete a background check every school year. The background check can be done
here.
HALLER CREATES A SAFE AND CARING ENVIRONMENT FOR STUDENTS
The teachers and staff at Haller Middle School want to make sure our school is a safe and caring place for your child. As stated in the school board policies and procedures and in our family handbook, harassment, intimidation and bullying will not be tolerated in our school. Our teachers and staff go through training at the beginning of the year to recognize the signs of harassment, intimidation and bullying and report such behavior accordingly.
If a student feels harassed or threatened in some way, they can make a complaint at the school. Informal reports may also be made to any staff member. Such complaints will be appropriately investigated and consistently handled. Students may also submit a report using the SafeSchools Alert incident reporting system that’s available on the front page of our school’s website.
Your child’s safety and wellbeing is a priority for us. We want them to thrive in a positive environment that promotes learning. Please call our main office if you have any questions.
