Harding Elementary Welcome Back to School Letter
Dear Parents & Guardians:
It is with great excitement that we welcome you to Harding Elementary School! We are thrilled to have you and your families become a part of our school community and look forward to working together to create a memorable elementary school experience for your child. My name is Teri Coward and I'm honored to be returning as principal of Harding. I know we will be sharing an active and engaging, event-filled year of learning and educational opportunity for all of our scholars and families.
We are experiencing extraordinary times and the pandemic has left us all wondering about a new normal, including what school will look like this fall. We are working with state guidance to consider how we safely open school. This plan will include addressing not just academic, but social, emotional and physical safety needs. If you changed your contact information or move during the summer, please communicate that by calling the school at (330) 744-7517. It is essential that we have an email address and updated phone numbers for all families.
New Staff Each year brings positive change. This includes a few additions to our staff. We are delighted to welcome:
**** First Day of school has been pushed back to September 8, 2020****
