Dear Harmony DC Staff and Families,
We hope you are enjoying a wonderful summer filled with rest, fun, and quality time with family and friends.
As a reminder, Friday, July 17, is the final day of our Summer School Program. We want to thank our students, families, and staff for making this year’s program a success.
We are also excited to share that renovations at our new school building are moving at full speed! Our team has made tremendous progress to ensure the building provides a safe, modern, and welcoming learning environment for all students. Renovations continue to move forward at an incredible pace. The walls are being freshly painted, new classroom and office doors are being installed, flooring is being replaced throughout the building, and every restroom is being completely updated. Our team is working hard to ensure everything is ready for the start of the new school year. We can’t wait to welcome everyone into our beautiful new home.
To allow our construction team enough time to complete the remaining work and ensure the building is fully ready for students and staff, we have updated the 2026–2027 school calendar. The first day of school for students will now be Monday, August 24, 2026. We will have orientation days during the week of August 17th.
Please take a moment to review the updated school calendar for important dates and plan accordingly.
Thank you for your continued patience, flexibility, and support throughout this exciting transition. We look forward to welcoming everyone back in August for an amazing school year in our new building!
Have a safe and enjoyable remainder of your summer.
Sincerely,
Harmony DC Administration
