Dear Parents and Guardians,

As we celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the incredible work that teachers do each and every day to educate and inspire our children. Teachers are truly the backbone of our education system, and they play a critical role in shaping the future of our society.

At our organization, we are proud to have some of the best and most dedicated teachers in the field. They are passionate about their work, committed to their students, and always striving to improve their teaching practice.

But we also recognize that none of this would be possible without the support and partnership of parents like you. Your involvement in your child’s education is crucial to their success, and we are grateful for your commitment to working with our teachers to create a positive and engaging learning environment for your child.

So during this Teacher Appreciation Week, we want to extend our deepest gratitude to both our teachers and our parents. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of our students, and we look forward to continuing this important work in the years to come.

Sincerely,

Muhammet Turkay, Ed. D.

Book Fair eWallet is a digital payment option that’s a safe, convenient alternative to cash. It’s easy to create an eWallet for students to shop the Fair or for teachers to set up an eWallet to build classroom libraries. The account owner simply adds funds and/or invites family and friends to contribute. At the time of checkout, the eWallet account can be looked up on the register or scanned for payment at the Fair.

Families can set up an eWallet from their schools Book Fair homepage. From there, an eWallet information page displays. Families will be asked to sign in to Scholastic registration or set up a new account. All on-screen instructions should be followed to complete eWallet setup. eWallet funds never expire and can be used to shop online with Scholastic or to fund an eWallet for a future Book Fair.

Check out these websites to preview some of the books that will be at the fair

Covid-19 At-Home Testing Reminder

Dear Harmony DC families,

After long breaks, students and staff are required to do a Covid-19 at-home test and upload the results to the DC’s health portal. At-home tests were distributed before spring break to all students and staff.

The following link can be used to upload test results.

All grades are required to test before coming to school Monday, April 24, 2023.

If we don’t have the results, we will test students Monday morning before they enter the building.

Your scholar’s safety is our top priority. Thank you in advance for working with us to keep your scholars and the Harmony community safe.

Friendly Reminder:
No Aftercare on Friday, April 14
April 14 is the last day before Spring Break, and we will not have aftercare on Friday, April 14. All students will be dismissed at 3:45 pm.

Congratulations to all our scholars!
