Harrington Happenings
April 7, 2024
Happy Sunday Harrington Families
I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend so far. I am excited for Spring like weather that is in the forecast for this upcoming week. Tomorrow, during the eclipse we will be dismissing as usual with the instructions of not drawing the students attention to the eclipse should it occur during our dismissal time as predicted. While I understand the significance of this event, we do not have 500 pairs of safety glasses on hand for the students to wear to see the eclipse. I would ask that you refrain from sending glasses in with your student, as this will cause other students to see what is happening and look at the eclipse. While I know I cannot keep the students from looking up, I will do my best to keep their eyes focused on getting in vehicles and buses. I appreciate your support with this.
DISMISSAL REMINDER:
Please remember that if you are changing the way in which your student will be dismissed on a particular day please send in a note with your student, or call the main office. Teachers will follow the consistent plans of that day unless there is notification from a parent/guardian to them directly. Students can be confused on dismissal plans which causes extensive confusion and a delay in the dismissal process. Again, please send in a note or call the office if you change the way your student will be getting home on any particular day.
Thank you for your continued support of Harrington. We are an inclusive community, a special community, a community that will continue to support each other.
Please ensure that you are receiving all communications from the school and that your contact information is up to date. If at any time you have changed your contact information, please let the school know so we can update our systems.
As always, thank you for your continued support of our Harrington community. Please reach out to me or Karen with any questions or concerns as always.
Once again, remember to…"Stay Respectful, Stay Responsible, Stay Ready... Embrace the challenges, learn from mistakes, and have fun"
Be safe! Stay well!
Rob & Karen
