-Important Reminders-

Volunteers/ Chaperones NEEDED-  We desperately need parents/ guardians to become official volunteers so you can be chaperones on field trips.  We would like to take our students on more field trips but cannot do so without YOU!  Please stop by the office to pick-up a volunteer packet and talk with Ms. Debbie or Ms. Larissa about the process. 

Harkness Yearbook-  Mr. P and Mr. Vue are bringing back yearbooks this year and are running Yearbook Club each week with our intermediate students.  You can purchase a yearbook for the pre-sale price of $15 until April 19th.  Click HERE to purchase yours today!
