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.

A monthly newsletter will be sent to families by School Messenger.  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.
