Parents, Guardians, Students, and Staff: 

I have a few clarifications to yesterday’s email.  I appreciate folks reaching out for further information.

As we shared in yesterday’s update, we are altering the schedule and transitioning to a hybrid model for students in grades 7 through 12 starting Monday, November 30^th.  This will last until Christmas Break.   Students in Kindergarten through sixth grade will attend every day.   This does not change the status of our virtual students in any way.  NH Virtual will continue as it has been and will continue into and through second semester.   

Students in grades 7 -12 will be having school five days a week.  Whether they are at school or at home, they are expected to log in each day and participate.  This will be how we keep attendance for those eLearning days. 

I do need to clarify the last name information.  Students with last names STARTING in A – K will attend school on Monday and Thursday.  Students with names STARTING in L – Z will attend on Tuesday and Friday.  Wednesday will be an eLearning day for grades 7-12.   Blended families with last names in both categories will attend with A-K.  (Thank you to the G8 student who caught my mistake!)

Dear Parents/Guardians,

I would like to thank our school community for their patience and understanding during these unprecedented times. I am sure all the information that is out there regarding COVID 19 is overwhelming.  Life as we know it has changed for the entire world but we will get through it by working together.  Let's try to embrace this challenge to bring good and positivity into the world.  Our children will remember this time in history and I hope that they will be proud of how we responded.

During this e-learning period I would like to ask you to PLEASE report any exposures or positive COVID 19 cases that have a direct impact on our students, parents, or staff members.  There may still be a need to contact trace or students may have to be quarantined after Thanksgiving break.  I will be available each day to answer any questions you may have.

Honoring All Who Served!  Thank you, Veterans!

In lieu of our traditional Veterans Day program we host at the high school, this year North Harrison Community Schools has created a virtual program.  The program features a slideshow of our community's Veterans and Active Duty Service Members.
