HARRY'S COLOR BLAST A SUCCESS!

A THANK YOU FROM PRINCIPAL JESSICA GRANDT

I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to all the friends and families of Harrison Elementary who helped make our color run such a huge success! We far surpassed our $ 10,000 goal! That would not have been possible without you! And thanks to Sheri Krogman, who organized the event, and all of the parents and staff who volunteered the day of the color run. It was such a perfect night.

The Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction (DPI) recently released the School Report Card scores for each public school and district in Wisconsin. The report card scores are primarily based on students' performance on the Forward Exam, which was taken by our 3rd-5th graders in the spring of 2021. The report card ratings are based on scores calculated from four priority areas which include Achievement, Growth, Target Group Outcomes and On-Track to Graduation.

We are excited to report that Harrison Elementary scored well above both the state and district average on our latest report card, placing in the "exceeds expectations" category!

Thank you to all of our awesome Harrison teachers and staff for helping our students learn and grow every day. And thank you to our awesome Harrison Hawks for coming to school ready to learn and to their families for making education a priority!
