Message from our Superintendent
|
We are happy to report an increase in student applications over last year and want to thank you for your strong referrals. Did you know that
over 60%
of all our applications came in because you referred students to us? So if your a parent, staff member or student keep them coming and a big THANK YOU!
I want to assure all of you that security is our number one priority and we are taking every step we can to ensure our students and staffs safety. As a Harmony parent I take this role very personally and want to let you know of some of the changes that we have implemented. New security features are being implemented in our schools, we now have full time security officers at all our schools all day to help promote a safe learning environment where our students and staff can focus on education. I encourage you to introduce yourselves to our security guards as they protect our most valuable assets, our students.
Best Regards, Mr. Kaya

Join us for our Book Fair April 2nd - 6th 8:00 am - 4:00 pm.
When was the last time you went to a book fair? Did you know that
Children who are “well-read-to” (at least five times a week), when asked to tell a story, used more literary language than unread to children, and they used more sophisticated syntactic forms, longer phrases, and relative clauses. They were also better able to understand the oral and written language of others – an important foundation for the comprehension skills that will develop in the coming years. Wolf, M. (2007). Proust and the Squid: The Story and Science of the Reading Brain. New York: Harper Perennial.
