We continue to focus on designing learning environments to encourage math play and thinking. It is vitally important to encourage choice, creativity, and social engagement so that our kids see themselves as math knowers, doers, and contributors.
This week and always, we appreciate our two school counselors! Ms. Morris supports 6-8 graders at the middle school and Hive campuses, and Ms. Houghton supports 9-12 graders at the high school and Hive campuses.
School counselors are highly educated, professionally certified individuals who help students succeed in school and plan their career. An integral part of the total education system, school counselors help students form healthy goals, mindsets, and behaviors. With the aid of a school counselor, students learn to develop effective collaboration and cooperation skills, to practice perseverance, to develop time management and study skills, and to learn self-motivation and self-direction habits.

Due to icy conditions, Harrison Community Schools will be closed Friday, January 26th.
Hornet Nation,
Thanks so much for your understanding around our cancellation today. Our early morning test drives resulted in a couple of sideways events that included tapping a deer and a snowbank ending. With that in mind, the safety of our students waiting at bus stops and riding buses figured centrally in the decision. Even a two-hour delay would not have significantly helped.
At this point, with rising temperatures and salting done by the Road Commission (a big thank you!), we are comfortable with athletic events and/or practices going forward later today.
Much appreciation,
Judy Walton, Superintendent

This month and always, we appreciate our School Board Members: Zachary Driver, Kendra Durga, Therese Haly, James Neff, Chelsea Roland, Betsy Ulicki, and Carrie Whitaker. Individually and together, they play a crucial role in shaping the future of our students, schools, district, and community. #HornetPride
Weather forecast is for a balmy 36 degrees! Parking will be available in the staff lot, behind the school.
Our 4th and 5th graders culminated the Larson food drive by attending the Hoops for Hunger game at CMU. Thanks to all who contributed food items, and to our Larson staff for coordinating such an awesome community service project! #HornetPride

Good morning, Hornet Nation!
As we look at the weather for today, especially when the first snow is expected to begin and when heavier snow is to follow, we will proceed with our scheduled 1/2 day of school. Thank you all for your patience,
