HPE Weekly Update 11/17/2024

Happy lifelong learners. Passionate and positive in every way!

Happy Sunday, Harris Park Families!

Tomorrow, November 18th, is an early release day. School will end at 1:40 PM, and there will be no after-school programming other than for students already registered and attending Scholars Unlimited. Please make sure all students are picked up by 1:50 PM. Our next early release days are December 2nd and December 16th.

I’d also like to clarify from last week's message—please do not drop students off before 7:30 AM, as we cannot provide supervision until that time.

Mark your calendars, break runs from November 25th to the 29th, and we’ll welcome students back on Monday, December 2nd.

Thank you, and we look forward to seeing everyone tomorrow!

Love,

Mrs. Mills (Richey)
