Chromebooks
All students will be equipped with a Chromebook and a carrying case. Whether you still have your Chromebook at home or you need one, we will make certain that every learner is prepared for their learning opportunities in the Fall.
The anticipated date of Chromebook cases delivery to HTS is mid-September. As a result, students will have Chromebooks without a case for a small period of time. Use this time as an opportunity to review rules with your child regarding the care of their Chromebook.
The First Day of School
We will be welcoming all students, in-person and virtual, for their first day of school on September 8, 2020.
School Supplies for Hybrid Learners
Harrison Township School District will provide all the supplies needed for our learners. For hybrid learning, this year students will not be sharing any supplies from baskets of crayons to pencils to glue sticks. We are recommending our families purchase a simple pencil box for your child to send in to school. This would help with individual student supplies. If you are unable to purchase a pencil box, one will be provided.
For our hybrid and virtual learners, we recommend begin establishing the 'learning space' where your child will participate in their virtual learning experiences.
School Supplies for virtual learners
During the first week of September, our teachers will be gathering the necessary supplies for our Virtual Only learners. Due to the amount of learners who have chosen the Virtual Only learning model, teachers will be scheduling a Supply Pick Up Day. On this day, supplies will be ready for learners to pick up at Harrison Elementary so they have everything needed for their virtual learning. Stay tuned for the first Supply Pick Up Day.
Who is your child's teacher?
THIS is always the most anticipated question beginning mid-July. This year looks differently as students were not able to be officially placed into homerooms until this week. Kindergarten is placed first because they come in early for an Explore and Tour, being held on August 31st. Kindergarten letters are being mailed the afternoon of August 24th. The other grades follow with access to your child's teacher being on September 1st. Information about class placement lists will be coming tomorrow, August 25th.
Hybrid and Virtual Schedules
Morning Learning Session: 8:35am to 11:05am
At Home Lunch and Recess: 11:30am to 12:30pm
Afternoon Learning Session: 12:35 to 3:05pm
water fountains closed
All water fountains at Harrison Elementary are turned off and covered. For hybrid learners, please plan on sending your child to school with a labeled water bottle.
