Harkness is fortunate to have FOUR Foster Parents serving our school community this year.  Our grandmas provide our school with supervision and support during meals and one-on-one and small group support in our K-3rd classrooms.  Click HERE to learn more about the AmeriCorps Foster Grandparent Program.

We are fortunate to have a strong partnership with NorCal School of the Arts.  Students at Harkness participate in weekly SEL/ theater classes taught by NorCal staff.   

Each spring, we partner with NorCal to produce a musical.  Last year, Harkness performed The Lion King.  Details about the spring musical for the 24/25 school year are coming soon!
