Harvard Park Welcomes New Principal

Dear Harvard Park Community Families,

I would like to take this opportunity to share my excitement in being appointed the new principal at Harvard Park Elementary School. I am very fortunate to continue to work in a school culture focused on student learning and committed to high expectations for every learner. As part of the instructional leadership team it is my intent to continue to carry out these important traditions and practices.

I would like to extend an invitation that we continue as partners in your child’s education and invite you to attend our monthly parent meetings, parent conferences and other academic events.

I look forward to using my enthusiasm, leadership, and diverse nature of my experience to continue to make a positive contribution to the Harvard Park. Please feel free to call, email or stop by and visit. My email address is jhayes@sps186.org, if you ever have questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact me.


Sincerely,


Mr. Hayes
Principal Harvard Park School 2013-14

We Need Your Box Tops

Ready, Set, Go!
It is time to start collecting box tops for the spring. We collect more than box tops. We also collect Campbell Soup labels and Coke Reward Codes. All will be due by February 22. Our goal with our spring box tops is to buy an iPad synching station for the schools. It costs about $1500.00! Please send them to school and we will count and sort them. Trimmed box tops are always appreciated!

Harvard Park Mission Statement

Our mission is to educate all students to be productive citizens by teaching them to be critical thinkers and problem solvers with a life long passion for learning.

Instructional Focus

All students will learn to make inferences during reading to improve comprehension by figuring out what the author doesn't come right out and say.
