🌟 May is Mental Health Awareness Month! 🌟
Did you know that May is dedicated to raising awareness about mental health? As your scholar's counselor, Ms. Adugna committed to providing support and resources to promote positive mental well-being. Throughout this month, she'll be sharing valuable facts, tips, and resources to help us all understand and support mental health better.

Dear Harmony DC Families,
Here's our academic calendar for 2024-2025 School Year.
Please make all of your travel and vacation plans around this calendar
Attending school every day is the most important factor for student success. Students with less than 90% of school attendance fall behind and cannot get prepared academically for the next grade level.
If your child has a low attendance rate and you received a letter from school about possible retention, please make sure your child attends school for the rest of the school year. If no improvement is observed at the end of this quarter, students will be considered for retention.
