Please see below for information for Harrison students and parents.
First Day Schedule Info
Students will get a hard copy of their student schedule from their first period teacher on Wednesday morning. Students should check their Student Portal tonight to see who their 1st period teacher is and their room number (it may have changed since Monday as we have been balancing class numbers). To view room numbers, you need to click "Class Schedule" from the menu bar in the portal. Students who are having trouble accessing the portal can get assistance before school in the Theatre Lobby. If you have a scheduling concern, please email your counselor for assistance.
Did you know you can view the Harrison school calendar online?
Bus schedule information can be found in the Parent/Student Portal. If you requested a bus and do not see bus info on the portal, please email Mrs. Nixon atkayla.nixon@polk-fl.net. PCPS has a call center to handle school bus inquiries and issues for the beginning of the school year. Parents and guardians can dial 863-534-7300 for assistance through Friday, Aug. 26. The call center will be staffed on weekdays from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Staff will be able to provide help with all manner of transportation questions, including student bus numbers, stop times and locations, transportation eligibility, and bus delays.
Parent Involvement Opportunities!
Harrison could not provide many of the opportunities we offer without the support of our amazing parents' association! We would love for all of our parents to join the HPA as members. There are three different membership levels available. If you would like to join by check, please click here to access the form and mail it in to the school. If you would like to join using your credit card, you can click here to access the online membership form.
The HPA invites all parents to join us on August 30 for "Mix'N'Mingle". This fun and informative parent event will give you an opportunity to meet other parents, alumni, and members of the HPA Executive Board. Registration includes appetizers and beverages. The event will be held at the school in the main rotunda and art gallery from 5:00 to 6:00 p.m. The HPA General Meeting will immediately follow. Registration for the event will close on August 26. Click here to register now. Looking forward to seeing you there!
