Identification
Identification is required at all times when picking up students at Harrison Elementary at the Main Office.
Identification is required at all times when picking up students at parent pick up at Harrison Elementary at the end of the day. While we try to have consistency with staff who are signing parents in, there are times when another staff member may be present. If they do not know you, they WILL ask you for identification. Please be respectful. Please do not argue with them as they are simply doing their job of keeping our children safe.
