Monday August 1st, 2016

It is hard to believe that August has arrived. Our new secretary has started and the office is open. If you know about new families, please encourage them to come in and register. That is really helpful as we are preparing class lists.

Welcome to all our new staff! We are so excited to have you join the Harrison family. From the kitchen, to our custodians, classified staff, support staff, and certified staff- We have an awesome team at Harrison that works very well together. I'm really proud of that. If you have any questions or need any help, please ask. There are so many people willing to jump in and help.

Please continue to send a summer picture of yourself sharpening the saw, for the staff video.

Please remember the fun staff work party on August 2nd. That is a great time to talk, laugh, paint, and have fun. The day starts at 8:30 am. Our building has had great updates the last few years, like the front entry way and bathrooms. It's the staff work party that has accomplished that. Come sharpen the saw with your colleagues!

You may have noticed that the school website is not working. The school district is updating websites. As families are asking for items, here are a few details you can help share and pass out.
