Welcome to H.W. Harkness Elementary School

Our mission at Harkness is to ensure EVERYONE learns at HIGH-LEVELS in a safe, supportive environment- EVERYONE= students, staff, parents/guardians and HIGH-LEVELS= grade-level or higher.

Greetings Harkness Families,

I hope you all are having a wonderful summer break! We are excited to welcome both new and returning families to our school community. Our first day of school for the 26/27 school year is Tuesday, August 11th.

At Harkness, we are deeply committed to providing a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every student can learn and grow. To further this mission, our social justice initiatives this year will focus on celebrating and exploring the rich diversity within our community. Thank you for being a vital part of our Harkness family—we look forward to welcoming you soon.

In Partnership, 

Sarah Scheeline, Principal

TK and Kindergarten

Transitional Kindergarten (TK) and Kindergarten are exciting first steps in your child’s learning journey! TK gives younger children a nurturing start, while Kindergarten builds confidence with reading, math, and hands-on discovery. Both programs help your child get ready for a bright future in school.
