Building The Future:  Every Learner, Every Day, Every Way

Harrison School District is committed to providing a safe, inclusive learning environment that inspires excellence and empowers students to achieve college and career readiness.

The Harrison School District School Improvement plan is a continuous cycle of studying data, planning for improvement, following the plan, checking on the success of the plan, then starting all over again by studying the data, planning for improvement, following the plan, and checking for success of the plan, etc.

This district is continuing to monitor progress and results from test scores each year. Based on those results, the following categories have been updated.

During the 2023-24 school year, we will continue to teach from day one, August 14, 2023 until school ends on Monday, May 24, 2024. We promise to provide a guaranteed and viable curriculum that will include options of onsite, blended, and offsite learning including all diagnostic assessments and state exams.

Gaps created from unfinished learning during the conclusion of the 20-21, 21-22, 22-23 school years will be addressed utilizing the playbook from the State of Arkansas and district resources utilizing high quality instructional materials.

All staff will utilize a Learning Management System. For K-6 this will be Google Classroom and for grades 7-12, it will be Canvas. Teachers will be trained as needed to appropriately utilize a LMS while creating blended instruction.

Parents and students will be supported in every way possible as we explore education of the future.  We continue to be committed to Building the Future: Every Learner, Every Day, Every Way!

We will continue with a communication plan for all parents, students, and the community through a variety of avenues: website, social media, newspaper, radio, videos, thrillshare messaging, zoom meetings, television, mail, and personal phone calls.

A current thorough re-entry plan is updated regularly.  These plans are dynamic in nature and can change daily.

This plan began in the 2017-18 school year and continues to expand and change. It is a living document and will be updated as the plan evolves and changes to meet the needs of every learner, every day, every way!
