Happy Sunday Harrington Families
Happy Sunday! There has been an explosion of color with the trees as of late! The sights and smells of Fall are upon us! We have a big week this week, we have a half Day on Tuesday, please remember we dismiss at 11:45. Also, very excited that our Harrington/Parker Trunk or Treat, Battle of the BOOs will be taking place on Saturday, at the Harrington parking lot from 3 - 5 pm. IF YOU HAVEN'T DONE SO YET, PLEASE SIGN UP TO DECORATE YOUR TRUNK! The students attending trick or treat at your trunks so the more that we have the more opportunity for our students to have a variety of trunks to get some treats at! Again, PLEASE SIGN UP TO DECORATE YOUR TRUNK FOR OUR STUDENTS!
DISMISSAL REMINDER:
Please remember that if you are changing the way in which your student will be dismissed on a particular day please send in a note with your student, or call the main office. Teachers will follow the consistent plans of that day unless there is notification from a parent/guardian to them directly. Students can be confused on dismissal plans which causes extensive confusion and a delay in the dismissal process. Again, please send in a note or call the office if you change the way your student will be getting home on any particular day.
Thank you for your continued support of Harrington. We are an inclusive community, a special community, a community that will continue to support each other.
Please ensure that you are receiving all communications from the school and that your contact information is up to date. If at any time you have changed your contact information, please let the school know so we can update our systems.
As always, thank you for your continued support of our Harrington community. Please reach out to me or Karen with any questions or concerns as always.
Once again, remember to…"Push through your day, Smile, Be Happy, Stay Positive!"
Be safe! Stay well!

Costume for a Cause 2022!
We are excited to announce our 2022 “Costumes for a Cause” event! Students and staff who choose to wear a costume to school on October 31st are encouraged to give a donation (suggestion of $1.00) in order to participate.
We will be establishing an organization to donate in the next couple of weeks. In the past we have donated to local animal shelters and St. Judes Childrens Research Hospital.
Event Rules:
Costumes should be comfortable and safe to wear all day.
Costumes must be appropriate for elementary school (no monsters, zombies, etc.).
Costume provides no safety risk or distraction to the wearer or others in class. Must be easily set aside-nothing to trip over.
Absolutely NO weapons in the costume including, but not limited to: guns, swords/knives, chains, etc.
Students that do not plan on wearing, or do not have a costume are always welcomed to wear Orange and Black that day if they choose.
