Preschool Inclusion, 2021 - 2022
The Harrison Township School District will be offering a Preschool Inclusion program for the 2021-2022 school year. There will be a 3-year-old program run in the morning (8:30-11:00 a.m.) and a 4-year-old in the afternoon (12:30-3:00 p.m.). The Preschool Inclusion Program will provide our population of children with special needs the opportunity to be educated in the least restrictive environment. Each session will be a 2 ½ hour program five days a week.
Children must have attained the age of 3 years or 4 years of age (but not 5 or more years of age) on or before October 1, 2021.
Selection for the program will be by lottery. The program cost $2,700 for the 2021-2022 school year. Transportation is not provided.
Applications and more information for this program are available on the school’s website, www.harrisontwp.k12.nj.us, under “Families”.
For more information, please see the attached documents. You can also contact 856.478.2016 extension 7169 for additional information.

Chromebook Care
This is a reminder to our families regarding Chromebooks. To help keep devices in tiptop condition, Chromebooks are to remain in the school-issued Chromebook bags that were provided for each student. Backpacks and bookcases do not provide the same protection and in some cases increases the risk of damage to Chromebooks.
Damage rates dramatically increase when out of the bag.
Please remind your student to keep the school-issued Chromebook in the Chromebook bag at all times.
Thank you for your support.
Picture Day Snaps at Home
Lifetouch is offering an updated version of Snaps @ Home, a feature on their app that lets parents upload their own picture as a school picture. They add the school photo background in the app, and then can send the digital picture to htspvsyearbook@gmail.com to be used in the yearbook. Families will have to order a photo package. The packages start at $4.99, and we are asking that our families use the blue background to keep the photos uniform. Please email htspvsyearbook@gmail.com with questions.
If your student missed having his/her picture made and you would like them in the yearbook, please participate before the deadline.

Picture Day Snaps at Home will be available through March 2021.
