Welcome to Harrison Street Elementary School!

We live our vision here at Harrison - We are: self-directed, lifelong learners; effective communicators; complex, creative, and adaptive thinkers; and collaborative and productive citizens. Please join us in striving to support and live this vision as parents, educators, community members, and as lifelong learners ourselves.

We are committed to high levels of learning by ensuring a safe, caring learning environment; an engaging, hands-on curriculum; and differentiated instruction to meet the needs of all of our learners. My door is always open and I welcome your ideas, comments, and/or feedback about our school.

 

Thanks for your continued support, and the privilege of educating your children. I look forward to a wonderful year!
