Harrison Park Post

Shannon began to take requests for various facilities usage on the last few days of school. If your grade level is in need of an alternative space for an activity please plan ahead. Walking around today I found two doors propped open. Please make sure this does not happen. If your class is out at recess the doors should remain shut and an adult will have to let the student into the building. SUN has ended for the year. Students should not be in the building after school unless they are with an adult. Please let me, and the office know if you are holding any after school events/meetings/etc.  This is primarily for those serving middle school students. Please do not allow students to warm up food items (Cup of Noodles, etc). We have been having issues with this. Today we had two students who determined they got an extra period for lunch because they didn't have enough time to prepare their food during their scheduled lunch time.  Middle School will be running on regular schedule...

 Tomorrow is Friday and then you all have a three day weekend! Thank you for your presence this week. I again want to thank those who have stepped in for their co workers. It makes a difference.  I realized I did not put this out formally yesterday. The School Board voted on the SEGC proposal on Tuesday. Harrison Park will become a middle school in the fall of 2023. Students from the Hosford Mandarin Immersion Program, Atkinson, Bridger, and Vestal will be joining our current students. Our K-5 students will move as a unit to what is now Creative Science. One amendment was made to the proposal. This amendment does not impact Harrison Park, but allows current Lent students to remain their for one more year until the building fully converts into a all school Spanish Immersion Program. I am working to set up meetings and discussions around what next steps are.  I will be putting out information around end of year packing etc. in the Weekly Forecast. Please note that we will n...

Thank you for your time this afternoon. I know it is a lot to bring out at the end of the year, but it is important that we ensure we are sharing information the district has asked us to. I am excited for our work together next year and know challenge brings growth. We are excited to announce that Pepper registration for our 2022 Summer Institute is open. We realize that sometimes registration in Pepper can be difficult to navigate so we are providing you with this resource to hopefully make it a quick and easy process. On that note, I wanted to let you know that people who do not chose to do Summer Institute will be asked to do a one day training on August 25th. This will be district directed PD. Staff members who participated in Summer Institute will remain in the building (in our case off site at McMenamins Edgefield) for PD that is supplemented by the district. I know summer is busy, but I strongly encourage you to take part in the Summer Institute if possible so this time can b...
