Thank you for the help and patience in opening school today. We had a great day with well over 90% student attendance. We still have a few bus "Snow Routes" remaining. If your student's bus is not listed in the linked document, the bus will be operating with normal times. Once the "Snow Route" bus document is open, scroll to your student's bus number to see if there are time changes. Bus Snow Route Link: https://shorturl.at/g6ymY
Harrison Schools will be open for student instruction tomorrow (Thursday, 01/29/2026). Road conditions may affect bus travel, therefore we are providing a link for bus information. Once the bus document is open, scroll to your student's bus number to see if there are time changes. Bus Route Link: https://shorturl.at/g6ymY
Students, Parents, and Families,
Thank you for the patience with the weather. We need one more day to prep our facilities. I am extremely proud of our maintenance & custodial teams for their efforts on property preparations. Our goal is to be open for students Thurs & Fri with very limited bus routes. We are planning to host Jr. High ball games in the arena Thurs night and Friday night will be Colors Night for HS Varsity teams We hope you can come and support our students by wearing Blue & Gold. More clarity with additional melting and secondary road clearing tomorrow....stay tuned!
Harrison Schools will be closed Monday, January 26, 2026 due to inclement weather. Due to the missed day of instruction on 1/26/26, we will have a normal day of school on February 19, 2026., a previously planned PD day for the staff with students not attending.
Inquiring minds are asking: What was on that paper Dr. Pratt dropped during his weather FAQ video this morning? Was it the secret recipe for the perfect snow day cocoa? The exact GPS coordinates of the North Pole?
Actually, it was something much more helpful - our HPS Snow Line phone number!

Forest Heights Elementary
What does Christmas mean to me? To me it means caring about each other like playing with my family with my new toys that I got for Christmas. Also for spending time together for example playing games together or just talking to each other. Also for being thankful for what we have and that we have each other. And for being kind to each other. It doesn't take much to be kind - so just be kind with your words and your actions. Also, don't argue - and care for each other. Be glad that you have family. And being cozy with blankets, heaters, and hot chocolate and watching tv on the couch and talking to each other about our new presents. And if we're having fun with the new toys that we got for Christmas.
I want a baby doll. It can be a girl baby. I need clothes for it too.
Love,
Daisy

What Does Christmas Mean to Me?
by Graham
Forest Heights Elementary
What does Christmas mean to you? For me it means family, friends, giving, presents, snow, and hot cocoa. My family is a family of 5 - my mom, dad, brother, sister, and I. My main group of friends is my best friends Cach, Tobin, Luke W. Hudson T., and Connor. I will give anyone a Christmas present to spread Christmas cheer. Snow is like fluffy clouds on the ground. Hot cocoa is the best drink ever. It's warm and chocolate flavored. In conclusion, what Christmas means to me is family, friends, giving, presents, snow, and hot cocoa.
