Just search "Harrison Elementary School, School District of Janesville" and you'll find us!

Did you know?

• Students need a medical excuse from a doctor to stay inside for recess or to sit out from P.E. class? 
• For safety reasons, parents and guardians cannot bring in food to share at lunch with anyone other than their own child? 
• Birthday invitations cannot be passed out at school unless the entire class is being invited to the party? 
• By Wisconsin State Statute, parents can only excuse their child for a total of 10 school days for the entire year? Absences after that are considered unexcused. 

September Hawk Heroes Announced! 

Each month the homeroom teachers select one student from their classroom as the Hawk Hero for that month who exemplify a specific character trait. These students receive a medal, an email home to their parents from the principal, and they are featured in a video that is played in classrooms and posted to our Harrison Facebook page. In September, the homeroom teachers recognized students who have had a great start to the new school year.

Our Hawk Heroes for September were:

• Kindergarten/First Grade: Sam Amundson, Bailey Martin, Colten Carter, Gabriela Barbosa, Vera Yoeun, and Aaron Kirkpatrik 
• Second/Third Grade: Emmy Tincher, Cataleya Suljic-Padilla, Bode Butler and D'Angelo Valles
• Fourth/Fifth Grade: Aileen Ramirez, Shane Kohls, Grayson Fisher and Hadley Boelk

Trunk or Treat

The Trunk or Treat will be held on Friday, October 21st, from 5:30-6:30pm in the Harrison School parking lot. Families can decorate their trunk and hand out candy or just bring your kids to trick or treat from car to car. There will be music, prizes for the best trunk, and of course lot of candy!
