As part of the Harrison PBIS work, we set a goal of getting at least 88% daily attendance during the month of September. This required the teamwork of all students and families to come to school when they were able---Well HES, we did it!! We had a daily student attendance rate of 88.3% during the month of September! To celebrate, students were given a popcorn treat today during their lunch. Keep it up HES!

Harrison and Waterford continue to implement and refine out PBIS (Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports) program this year. As part of this work, we seek family feedback twice a year to help guide us. Please consider taking a few minutes to answer a few questions at the following survey. There is a unique survey for each school. If you have students in each building, please complete both-as the answers might be different for each school. Thank you for your feedback and support!

Hello Harrison Families!
Each week, we will introduce a different group of our Harrison staff!
The staff that work at Harrison are an amazing group of educators (anyone who works in a school is an educator; since we all teach students not just academics but also life and social skills!).
Both returning and new families alike, we would like to share the people that make learning at Harrison possible-then when you visit next, you will know who we are.
This week, Mrs. Fuller would like to say hello! Our school secretary is the one to greet you at the door or answer the phones-she keeps the office running smoothly!
