A new "All the Buzz" is out, with important back-to-school information. #HornetNation #HornetPride

As we prepare to welcome our students back on August 21, we have a few more updates for you:
-- Grade-level teacher assignments for Larson will be shared as soon as possible. We are awaiting a Skyward "roll-up" with 2023-2024 information, and we do not control that timing. Once that does occur, emails will be sent to all those for whom we have an email address, and letters will be printed and mailed for all students. We believe you may also be able to see the assignment in Skyward itself once the system is updated. We cannot post lists due to federal and state privacy laws.
-- Class schedules for grades 6-12 should be available at August 16 open houses; again, printing those are dependent on the Skyward roll-up.
-- Any specific school supply lists will be posted on each school's FaceBook page and/or shared at open house. As always, we will supply any item a student does not possess.
Keep checking this space for additional updates.

**UPDATED**
We are pleased to announce a new transportation partner - Auxilio Services. Already providing transportation to nearby districts, Auxilio is working with the bus staff to make a seamless transition, and on August 21, our families will see many brand new buses with "Harrison Community Schools" on their sides.
If your child is a new enrollee in Harrison Community Schools, or was a student last year but did not ride the bus, please print and complete the attached form below to register for transportation in the 2023-2024 school year. IF YOUR CHILD RODE THE BUS LAST YEAR, AND THERE ARE NO CHANGES you do not need to fill out a form.
Registration forms are available and will be accepted in our central office (old Hillside) through Tuesday, August 1, and then also in our school offices beginning on August 2. They may be dropped off in person or faxed. Forms DO NOT go to the bus garage. Our fax number is 989.539.7491.

Jack Pine Conference Press Release:
The Jack Pine Conference has a long-standing tradition of promoting excellence in academics, sportsmanship and athletics and we are excited to expand and extend that tradition with the addition of four new member schools: Bullock Creek, Ogemaw Heights, St. Louis and Standish-Sterling high schools.
These four schools will be joining the JPC starting in the 2024-25 school year and will undoubtedly help elevate the Jack Pine Conference to new heights. This addition will not only enhance the conference's overall strength but will also foster an environment of healthy competition, collaboration and camaraderie among our schools and communities.
"We are delighted to welcome Bullock Creek, Ogemaw Heights, St. Louis and Standish-Sterling to the Jack Pine Conference,” said Jack Kramer, JPC Commissioner. “Their dedication to academics, athletics and sportsmanship aligns well with our core values and we are confident that their participation will further enrich the conference and benefit all member schools."
Starting in the 2024-25 school year the JPC will become a two divisions one champion conference. With this move the JPC hopes to create a more competitive schedule for all member schools throughout their seasons while still having one conference champion, in each sport, to keep the long-standing connections within the conference strong. Specific names for the two divisions are yet to be determined as we hope to gather input from our new member schools.
Jack Pine Conference 2024-25:
Bullock Creek, Clare, Gladwin, Ogemaw Heights, Shepherd, and Standish Sterling; Beaverton, Farwell, Harrison, Meridian, Pinconning, and St. Louis.
