Welcome Back to School Roadrunners!

Whether this is your first year at Harloe or you are a returning family everyone at Harloe is so excited to begin the 2023/2024 school year with you! I hope you all had a great summer and spent some time making memories with your loved ones. This year brings some new changes to Harloe. This year, we will welcome our first class of Transitional Kindergartners (TK)! We are ready to welcome our youngest Roadrunners into our brand new TK class. We will also welcome a brand new group of Kindergartners! We also are eagerly awaiting the return of our 1st - 6th students. I want to express my pride and gratitude to be able to serve such a great community. Welcome to the 2023/2024 school year!

Harloe has a beautiful new sign in front of our school. (We have saved the previous sign to auction off at our Harloe auction.) Harloe also received a fantastic new paint job. The school looks fresh and ready for a fantastic year of learning and growing together. I am confident that this school year will be better than ever. Our staff is ready to support our students with great instruction, great learning and a continued dedication to our students' social emotional needs. Teachers are once again busy getting their rooms ready to ensure that all students learn at high levels.


Again, I am honored to be serving our community as the Principal of Harloe Elementary. Everyone at Harloe welcomes you to the upcoming school year. We will see you all very soon!


As always, if you need to reach me, you can call the office at 474-3710 or email me at debra.webster@lmusd.org. Below, you will find more information regarding the start of the school year. Please continue to check ParentSquare for updates. I will send an update regarding student pick-up and drop-off procedures soon. Be prepared, Fair Oaks avenue will most likely be under city construction when we open school.

Mrs. Webster
