An important message to parents, staff, and students of the Harrison Public Schools:

As you know Governor Murphy’s Executive Order for Distance Learning will be in effect for the remainder of the school year. Students will continue to complete their lessons from home.

Please be assured that our Principals are working very hard to plan and prepare Virtual Graduations and other end of year activities. For more information, please see the guidance link from the State Police Colonel and Department of Education on the District Homepage. More information will be provided in the near future.

This past weekend, our ‘SchoolBucks Program’ performed an update and temporarily zeroed out all student balances. As of Monday afternoon, this issue has been corrected and all balances have been restored. Our apologies for any inconvenience this has caused. Further guidance on balances and rollovers will be provided in the near future.

Throughout this Distance Learning period, FREE ‘grab-n-go’ breakfast and lunch will be served for ALL CHILDREN at Washington Middle School from 9:00AM to 1:00PM.

During this Distance Learning process, parents should contact the appropriate principal's office as needed regarding technology, health, and other support services. Child study team members and other related services staff will be contacting parents and students directly to arrange for additional services.

Again, all Harrison Public Schools will remain in Distance Learning mode from home for the remainder of the school year.

On behalf of the Harrison Board of Education and Administration, we pray for, and offer our support for those who have been stricken with the CoronaVirus. We also encourage all to continue to practice shelter-in-place, social distancing and effective measures to avoid contracting the virus.
