Update for Week of 9/26

 

Back to School BBQ & Movie Friday, September 30th 5:30-8:00 Come play on the playground with our Harrison Teachers & Staff! Grab a hot dog dinner. Then settle into a seat or bring a blanket for the floor in our cafetorium as we make our own movie theater inside! We’ll plan to start a movie just before 6:30.  Please RSVP by Wed. 9/28 We’ll also host a quick optional Title 1 Annual Meeting at 5:45 in the Library. Come hear what it means to be a Title 1 school!

What are Pounce Leaders?

Student voice is critical at Harrison. Each month teachers in Grade 4 & 5 select two students to be Pounce Leaders. These students meet on Wednesdays with Principal Massie, Assistant Principal Sadiq, and our Bobcat team during recess to bring solutions to current concerns, record weekly announcements, and brainstorm ways to keep Harrison a welcoming place. This month students also performed skits for our weekly announcements on our Character Trait for September  “Being Safe”!

Did you know missing just 1-2 days a month could affect your child’s ability to successfully read and even possibly graduate? School success starts with regular attendance. We know COVID and other illnesses have made attending regularly challenging. We are committed to supporting and connecting with each family. Let us know how we can help get your Bobcat to school!

Update for Week of 9/12

Greetings Families,

We had an incredible first week back with our Grade 1-5 Bobcats! Thanks for sharing them with us! Students built community with get to know you activities, read stories about first day jitters, and reviewed school-wide expectations. How amazing to be back to a more normal beginning! We have a few logistics to share with you.

Arrival/Dismissal Update

Way to go families! Thanks for getting your Bobcats here and ready to learn by 8:15! This allows your student to be apart of our Morning Meetings where students share about themselves and connect as team with one another. 

As we get back into the groove of dismissing nearly 500 students, please help us by either parking or arriving in the pause pick-up line much closer to 2:30 (12:30 on Wednesdays). Students come out at or just after this time. Working together we can keep Taylor clear and safe for emergency vehicles. 

Parent Club Meeting & Donuts with Grownups

Join us in the library at 8:20 am for our first Parent Club Meeting of the year on Tuesday, September 20th. Stay after to chat & enjoy donuts with the Principals. We want to know more about your hopes for the year! In the coming weeks, keep an eye out for a family survey as well. 💙💛

Ms. Madison, SEL Specialist

We are very lucky to have Ms. Madison joining us as our SEL Specialists. She will support our students and families with social and emotional resources. Right now she's getting to know kids, connecting with those who want to chat, and coordinating services with community partners such as Roseburg Therapy and South Lane Mental Health. Reach out to her 541.767.5155.  

Supply Fees

Thank you to those families that dropped off or sent in our $25 supply fee per student! Teachers will use this ensure students have the materials they need in class.
