    Feast Day!
    Feast 04

    Our annual, very festive, feast day will be on the day before Thanksgiving. The children will be cooking and preparing food on Tuesday and the feast will be held on Wednesday during the last hour of class time. If you would like to help in anyway, either on Tuesday or Wednesday, please let us know.


    Snow Days
    Snow

    Our snow policy is the same as the Central Kitsap School District. If CKSD closes school for the day, we will also have no school. This enables us to spread the news through radio, TV, and online. If CK schools are delayed by 2 hours, there will be no morning school. If CK schools are delayed by 1 hour, come if and when you can. Please do not take unnecessary risks. If there are more than 4 snow days during this school year, we will make them up in June. Click on the link below to see school reports.

    Parent Conferences
    Harrison

    Every November we offer conferences to our parents. Our conferences are scheduled during the same days as the Central Kitsap School conferences. If you have other children in the district, your schedule will be completely mixed up on those days anyway. Our schools will be closed on Friday, November 18 and Monday, November 21 and your conference will be scheduled some time during these 2 days. If you don't already have an appointment, we will set one up for you at the cars or by telephone. Conferences are a half hour and are held at the school.
