LETTER FROM THE SUPERINTENDENTDear Parents and Community Members,

This year marks an important change in the way we provide calendar in-formation to our community; in an effort to be sensitive both economi-cally and ecologically, we are dramatically reducing the number of printed calendars. We encourage you to use our interactive web-based calendar (www.harrisoncsd.org) to plan your attendance at our many exciting and impressive student presentations, performances and school functions.

The Board and I feel fortunate that our community consistently sup-ports the ambitions and aspirations of its children. Your generosity is a source of inspiration to teachers, administrators, support staff, and to the Board of Education. Our community affords opportunities for every child to be enriched academically and personally. I am privileged to lead a pub-lic school system in a community deeply committed to serving a com-���� ����� �� �� ��� ���� ��� ��� �� ����� ��� ������ ��� ���� ����������� � ����� �� ��� �������� �� ��� ����� ������� ��� ��� ���������� ���� �������� ���-���� ��� �� ��� �� �� ��� ��� �������� ��� �� ������ ���� ������� ��-��� ��� ��� ��� �������� ���� ���� ������� ��� ������� ��������� ���� ��� -ety. Children are always watching; and you could not present a better role model then in coming together to improve the lives of others. On behalf of the Harrison Central School District, all of its employees, and our Board of Education, I thank you for your ongoing support; it is a sin-gular symbol of our community’s commitment to each of its children. Sincerely,

Louis N. WoolSuperintendent of Schools

SUPPORT SERVICES The district provides services other than regular class programs that provide for stu-dents’ diverse learning needs. These services include: Early Childhood Screenings, Psychological Testing, Counseling, Social Worker Services, Special Education Pro-grams, Academic Intervention Services, and English as a Second Language.

STUDENT TRANSPORTATION (Student Eligibility for Bus Service)Transportation will be provided for students in grades K-5 who live further than 1/2 mile from school and students in grades 6-12 who live further than one mile from school. Students in grades K-5 may be expected to walk up to 1/2 mile to an autho-rized bus stop. Students in grades 6-12 may be expected to walk up to one mile to an authorized bus stop. All inquiries regarding bus transportation should be made � ��������������������� ���+������������<�� ��=��>�� ��= �����$���������������-phone number is 630-3303.

Measurement of Walking Distances 1. Mileage from a student’s home to school grounds will be measured by a district vehicle.

2. Walking distances to bus route stops will be measured from the end of the property line of the student’s own driveway to the bus route stop.

3. Walking distances to school will be measured from the end of the property line of the student’s driveway to the nearest available driveway of the school, or nearest school property line if the school has no driveway.

4. All walking distances will be measured over publicly maintained roads, sidewalks, or paths; or, in the case of students residing in private/gated communities, distances will be measured over publicly and privately maintained roads, sidewalks, or paths.

SCHOOL DISTRICT SERVICES

SCHOOL HEALTH SERVICES All pupils of the district are provided health services in accordance with state require-ments. Children entering Kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, 7th and 10th grades, or newly en-rolled, are required to undergo an examination by the school or family physician. An �@�� ��� ������������� ������ � ��� �����������������������������������������physician is available on our website under Documents and Forms.

In case of illness, parents are called immediately. Parents are required to provide the school with the telephone number of a relative or other authorized person who can be reached if the parent is not at home or is unavailable during school hours. Every effort is made to protect the health and welfare of your child. Parents are invited to consult the school nurse whenever a problem arises concerning their child’s health.

Z����������!� ��� ���� "�� �������������������� ��������� ��*��������������Your child will not be able to attend classes in the Harrison School District until all New York State immunization requirements are met. Students entering the District must show proof of a Tuberculin Test (PPD) within one year of admission or a waiver signed by a private physician indicating that the child is not at risk for Tuberculosis. No medicines will be dispensed in school without written parental permission and physician order.

HOME INSTRUCTION���� [���� ��� \����� ��� �� ���� ��� ���� ������ ��� ��� ��������� �������� ���their home or a hospital for extended periods of time. A student’s parent should ���� �� � ����� �!����� ��� ���������� ������ ��� � ��� ���� �� ���� � ���� �!�����must include a written explanation from the student’s doctor indicating the na-ture of the illness, the date of the initial absence, the date the student will be well enough to start home instruction and the anticipated date of return to school.

ASSESSMENTSThe Harrison Schools provide a comprehensive assessment program for students in Kindergarten through grade 12 including all those required by State and Federal regu-lations. A student’s results may vary and one test cannot determine the range of a child’s ability or achievement. Multiple assessments are provided over the course of a student’s career to provide a more comprehensive picture of student growth. Stan-dardized tests do not measure effort, motivation, organization, study habits or creativ-ity, so other factors are used along with assessment results to provide the most appro-priate educational program for students.

ATTENDANCEA district attendance policy is available to all parents and is located at www.harri-soncsd.org, under Documents and Forms. Please read and understand your responsi-bilities and discuss this policy with your child/children. Parents are responsible under the School Attendance Laws of New York State for their children’s regular attendance and punctuality. Illness of the child, emergency illness in the family, death in the im-mediate family, inclement weather and religious observations are legal absences from school. New York State law requires a written excuse each time a child is absent or tardy. This excuse should be sent with the child when he/she returns to school after the day of the absence or tardiness. The reason for the absence or tardiness and the date(s) of occurrence should be explained in the note. If a child is out for two or more weeks, a doctor’s statement must accompany the childs return to school. The excuse must be signed by the parent or guardian.

DISTRICT CODE OF CONDUCTThe Board of Education is committed to providing a safe and orderly school environ-ment where students may receive, and district personnel may deliver, quality educa-tional services without disruption or interference. The Board believes that order and discipline is a shared responsibility between school, home and community. Respon-sible behavior by students, teachers, other district personnel, parents and other visitors is essential to achieving this goal, and is critical to a successful academic program.

The district has expectations for conduct on school property and at school functions. These expectations are based on the principles of civility, mutual respect, citizenship, character, tolerance, honesty and integrity.
