Welcome to our website! Here at Harrington School we encourage each member of the community to become active participants in the educational process.
By working together as partners, we are able to develop and implement a quality educational plan to ensure the success of our students.
As the school year begins, we encourage families to read the Harrington Student / Parent Handbook, and along with the staff, sign our Title 1 Home/School Compact. In this way, we show our commitment to working together effectively. We recommend that parents and guardians:
- Meet with their child's teacher to discuss student progress
- Stay actively involved in school events
- Monitor your child’s attendance, school and homework throughout the year.
We are excited to announce that our dual language program is now in grades PK-4. Compañeros is a unique educational program that builds bilingualism and biliteracy in English and Spanish. Somos bilingues (We are bilingual)!
We believe that open communication and consistent cooperative effort are key components for a successful school year. All stakeholders at Harrington--students, families, teachers, and administrators work with the same message in mind: “ What we say, what we do, and how we respond matters, and it is our choice!”
Harrington School's Mission Statement
The mission of the Harrington Elementary School is to nurture, develop and educate all students from early childhood to early adolescence, from a variety of economic and ethnic backgrounds and ability levels, and to give these students a solid educational foundation with the tools and understanding necessary to be responsible citizens and lifelong learners. We believe that all children can learn. We recognize that the Harrington School has the primary responsibility for providing learning opportunities. We also recognize that parents/guardians are our partners in this process. Ultimately, together, we must develop student learners who are motivated and responsible for their own education. The Harrington Home/School Title 1 Compact reinforces the student / parent / teacher team message that all members must work together for ultimate success.
The goals of our school are in accord with the district-wide goals and summarize the school's perception of its mission: provide all students at Harrington School with equitable opportunity for optimal achievement in all academic areas"
Supporting Goals:
- To foster academic potential in every child
- To generate a respecting and caring approach to learning
- To broaden literacy and communication skills
- To foster bilingualism and biliteracy
- To support a student/parent/school partnership
- To encourage life-long learning
