Things and Stuffs
PICTURE DAY is September 12th!
Do you need to have your child start practicing their nice picture day smile? Or are you going to live on the edge and just let them smile however they want and see what happens?
Either way you look at it, it'll be alright! Jostens will not be sending anything home prior to picture day. They WILL email parents and guardians directly about a week or so AFTER picture day to have you view the picture proofs and to place orders online. All orders come with the digital download of the chosen picture. If you decide that the picture taken is not the most flattering- you can select retakes right then and there and we will make sure they get their retakes done.
New Visitor Management System.....?
All parents and guardians should have received an email from the district about a new Visitor Management System that will officially roll out next week.
What does this really mean for you?
If you are VISITING the school and NOT picking up or dropping off a student or forgotten item:
1. Bring a state issued ID.
2. Check in at the office.
3. You will receive a visitors pass/name tag to be worn while you are at the school.
4. Check out in the office.
Easy-peasy, lemon squeezy!
A reminder from the Nurse Liz:
Any student will be sent home if he or she has a temperature of 100.0 degrees or higher, vomiting, diarrhea, or signs and symptoms of a possible communicable disease. Please keep students home until they remain fever-free for 24 hours without the aid of medication and are free of vomiting or diarrhea symptoms for 24 hours prior to returning to school. This is to ensure all our students and staff stay healthy. See attached information from Nationwide Children's Hospital about when your child should stay home.
If your child tests positive for Covid, please follow these guidelines from Franklin County Public Health:
Stay home for 5 days, regardless of vaccination status. Day 0 is your first full day of symptoms. After the 5 day isolation, your child may return to school as long as they have been fever free for 24 hrs and are feeling better. Your student should mask at school through day 10.

Teens for Christ
Counselor's Corner
Hello Harmon Families!
A lot of great stuff has been happening in the building! The students did a great job working hard on the first of 3 I-Ready tests for the 23-24 school year. Throughout the month of September I will begin making my way through classrooms to do the first guidance lesson. The focus of the lesson will be to meet the counselor. Students will learn how to request to see me and navigate my google classroom and website. The students used their #VOICE by completing a needs assessment for me to better understand what their social emotional needs are. There are a lot of great events going on in the community during the month of September. I know my family plans to attend a few.
