Hornet Nation, We just completed a lock-down drill across all five of our campuses, PreK-12. Teachers and students were asked to follow all procedures, including lights off, drapes pulled, and nightlock door stops activated. Practicing such a drill can be stressful, and our teachers took extra care with students to ensure that they were safe, quiet, and even-keeled. We appreciate our partnership with local law enforcement from Harrison and surrounding areas, some of whom took extra time with our youngest students to make sure they felt okay after the drill was over. If you have any questions, please reach out to your building principal or myself. Judy Walton 989.539.7871

Following Spring Break, our medical provider will be out for 12 weeks on maternity leave. We will have a medical provider on Mondays, Stacey Williamson, FNP and she will only be seeing students. Some of you are already familiar with Stacey when she shadowed in our clinic. Our medical assistant will still be available for OTC medications, bandages, or other mild nurse concerns. We apologize for any inconvenience in the interim, and thank you for your patience until Michelle returns. – The Harrison SBHC Team

PLEASE BE ADVISED: Our phones and internet are down for the rest of the day. We are sorry for any inconvenience.

Hornet Nation, We are in the midst of formulating a new strategic plan for Harrison Community Schools, and truly value your opinion of how we are doing and our future story.

We have been experiencing a noticeable uptick in the number of our students being diagnosed with Influenza A. This virus spreads mainly by droplets made when an infected person coughs, sneezes, or talks. Flu symptoms can include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills, tiredness, and sometimes vomiting and diarrhea. Not everyone with the flu will have a fever. If your child is sick, please keep them home to rest for at least 24 hours AFTER their fever is gone without medicine (if they have one) and symptoms have improved or resolved. If you have questions about symptoms or worsening of symptoms, please contact your medical provider.

Harrison Community Schools is looking for 2 - K-12 Special Education Teachers and a Secondary Social Studies Teacher to add to our team for the 2024-2025 school year. Please see job postings for application information.

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 juwalton@harrisonschools.com
