Harrison Middle School

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

We hope to see you there! #HornetPride #HornetNation

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. Please take a few minutes to complete this survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/WKMPWBQ - it is open to everyone in our community. Thank you, Strategic Planning Advisory Board

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.

For families with students in sixth through twelfth grade, please see the attached notice of a survey and opt-out form. We are sharing this through multiple modes, so our apologies if you receive it more than once. https://5il.co/2fa8h

Our middle schoolers are enjoying their Valentine-themed dance! Much appreciation to our student leaders and staff who planned and worked the event.

REMINDER: students have mid-winter break February 9-12, with school resuming on Tuesday, February 13. Teachers will be spending February 9 in professional learning sessions.

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.
