2nd Six Weeks Completed!

We have completed the second six weeks. My how time does fly. Before we turn around it will be Thanksgiving and then Christmas.

Student report cards should be coming home today. If you have any concerns, please make arrangements to visit with your child's teacher now. The sooner we can address the concerns the better. We want to work together in order to help your child succeed.

The Thanksgiving Break will be November 23-27. I hope that you will be able to spend time with friends and loved ones during this time. I also hope you are able to spend some time in reflection upon the things for which we can all be thankful. The Christmas Break will be December 21-January 4. We will also have Early Release days on December 17 and 18.

We are working hard to develop a learning environment that will meet the needs of today's learner. Students today do learn differently than when even you or I were in school. Harleton ISD has a vision of creating a Personalized Learning environment where we will meet the needs of every student through the blending of traditional brick and mortar schools with the new virtual schooling that is available today. I hope you will join us as much as possible to gain a better understanding of this vision and what we are doing to help prepare students to be successful in an ever-changing world.

Our district has developed a Steering Committee, made up of members of the community, to study our facilities and make a recommendation to the School Board about how the community and taxpayers would like us to proceed with some of the needs of our district. We currently have an enrollment of 788 students in our district,  and this number is up from 723 at the end of the previous school year. The growth we are seeing is from new residents of our district, and I believe, based upon the data, that we will continue to see growth in our district.

As always, I want to thank you for allowing us to be a part of your child's life. We welcome your questions or concerns (or praise), and we hope to meet your expectations. Please contact me if I can be any service.
