National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Tuesday, February 6, 2024
4th graders will take the NAEP on February 6th.
Harborview/TCLL Elementary will participate in the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) on Tuesday, February 6, 2024. NAEP is the largest nationally representative and continuing assessment of what students know and can do in various subjects. NAEP is administered by the National Center for Education Statistics, within the U.S. Department of Education. NAEP is different from our state assessments because it is a common measure of achievement nationwide. The results are released as The Nation's Report Card, which provides information about student achievement to educators, parents/guardians, policymakers, and the public.

Fundraising
More and more fundraising for Harborview is increasingly important. We expect the school and teachers will need to request more funds from PTA than in the past. Please participate in fundraisers, meetings, and volunteering at Friday Fun Night as much as possible for you and your family! We need you!
Next Friday Fun Night is February 9th, 6:00-8:00pm
