The time has almost come! School starts August 12th! (Yeah!!!!) Schedules will not be visible until next week.
First, I apologize for the wonky email last week. As we navigate moving systems, it has been a little tricky getting my list of students and families to email, but we are up and RUNNING! You can expect a weekly email from me each Thursday. Clcik the link above for a live Google calendar, pictures, upcoming events and recaps of all the awesome things happening at Harwood! You can always check out the parent resources and archive as well. If there is ever a resource you want easy access to, shoot me an email and I will add it.
If you did not catch our first edition, it is linked here, but we carried over most of the important beginning of the year information into this newsletter.
Hawk Camp is next week on Monday, August 10th. Doors will open at 1:30 pm. Students will enter through the main gym doors and parents will enter through the small gym doors. We will have printed schedules for all incoming 7th graders. If your student is attending as a new 8th or 9th grader, you will shadow a 7th grade schedule. There are plenty of staff to answer any questions, so do not worry! If you have a question ahead of time, email or call us and we are HAPPY to help!
If you have a new student to Harwood, you are welcome to join us that same evening anytime from 4:30-6:00pm to walk the schedules. Supply lists will be posted on doors, but teachers will not be available.
Our student mission, Every Choice. Every Class. Every Day., will guide our students in another successful year here at Harwood!
Please follow us on Facebook and Instagram. Please know that we value your feedback and communication. Please feel free to always reach out to us directly or leave feedback on the parent feedback form.
