Harrisfield Public School

Communication between home and school is very important. 

Harrisfield Public School will be communicating with families using School Messenger and the Harrisfield Public School Facebook page.

New this year, our admin will create a video/YouTube newsletter that will be sent to families electronically.  Please ensure you have a valid email address with the office. 

It is the parents/guardians responsibility to report your child's attendance daily! If your child will be LATE or ABSENT please remember to report this using the School Messenger reporting system BEFORE 9:15 AM. If your child will be leaving early, parents/guardians have a responsibility to report this using the School Messenger reporting system BEFORE 1:30 PM.

Please help limit classroom interruptions during instructional time.

All meetings will take place on the 1st Monday of each month, in person (library) and online (zoom). School Council at 6PM and Home and School at 7 PM. Please email harrisfieldhsa@gmail.com to request the link to join the monthly teams meetings.
