Harrison Park Family Involvement Plan 2022-2023
Our family involvement plan’s goal is to connect with families in multiple ways. We recognize that the diversity of our building racially, economically and linguistically means we must differentiate the way we interact and involve Harrison Park families.
We strive to provide parents/students with timely information about the program and with opportunities for regular meetings to formulate parental input and to inform parents of their school's participation and to explain the requirements of Title I.
Our teachers, and other staff, continue to be trained to work effectively with families of all our students to build their capacity to improve their children's learning in the home and in the school.
Substance Abuse Info Night @ McDaniel
The first hour will be pizza and a resource fair with a focus on substance use and mental health resources.
Then there will be a substance use informational presentation in English and Spanish, with Vietnamese and Somali interpretation available as well. Please join to learn more about this topic and how to support your students and community members.

WiFi Hotspots from Multnomah County Library
Hello, The Multnomah County Library has free WiFi Hotspots for students who need them. My name is Alonso Melendez and I work at the Multnomah County Library. I’m writing to you today to share the library’s free Tech Lending Program: WiFi hotspots are available now, without fees or bills, even if lost, stolen or broken.
The hotspots provide an unlimited internet plan that is unthrottled and can provide internet connectivity for several devices simultaneously. Students will be able to do their homework, and stream music or video without worrying that they will run out of data. We currently have approximately 400 hotspots designated for students ready to borrow. With a Multnomah County Library card, eligible students can borrow a hotspot for the rest of the school year, due back on June 30, 2023. Students must be low income, attending school in Multnomah County Residents, and have a library account in good standing, i.e. no bills over $50, or library exclusions.
You can request hotspots from the Tech Lending Program for students using this referral form, or you can provide students or their family/guardians my contact information:

and I will respond quickly to connect the student and their family with a hotspot.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Fresh cranberries have a tart and tangy flavor. They are most often added to recipes, rather than eaten alone. Here are some of our favorite cranberry recipes:
Drop off and Pick up
Please be mindful of our student crossing guards when using the parking lot.
Students need to be dropped off at the curb and make every effort to exit curbside.
Please make an effort to utilize the crosswalk near the 1st-3rd grade entrance.
Avoid parking in driveways, bus zone and blocking others in.
Please arrange for where your children will be picked up - a suggestion is all of your children meet in the youngest child's exit location.
We are noticing long delays to turn onto Division, please be mindful of this and patient as others pick/drop off their children.
