First four weeks
It is hard to believe we are completing four weeks of school in the 2020-21 school year. Our elementary school has grades k-3 meeting on campus for in person learning. Principal Geddes and team have done an amazing job following all of the ODE guidelines for health and safety purposes. Students and staff all wear facial coverings and follow social distancing as much as possible. Recesses are set up uniquely in order to comply with limiting the cohort mingling. Our food service department provides meals in the hallway, so students can eat in their classrooms and sanitation stations are located at every entrance. Our custodians are busy wiping surfaces, door handles and empting garbage cans. They have a restroom system in place that only allows 2 people at a time in the restroom, room capacity signs posted outside every room.
As a reminder to our parents and guardians, as you come onto campus to pick up your son/daughter or drop off, please practice social distancing and wear a facial covering. Our success is the Harrisburg community’s success and in order for us to stay open for in person learning, we must continue practicing the safe practices recommended by the CDC.
The good news is we remain student and staff free of any positive COVID-19 cases. In the Harrisburg School District, we have a wonderful staff of caring and professional individuals. It will take all of us working together in order to provide a healthy and safe place for our children to learn and grow. If you have questions or concerns please call me at 541-995-6626.
Class of 2020 Senior banners are available for pickup in the HS office. You may pick them up Mon-Thurs 7:30 am-5:00 pm. Thank you for your patience!

Harrisburg School District will continue Comprehensive Distance Learning for the remainder of the week for grades 2-12. Teachers have the option to either work from home or at school. We will continue limited instruction for K-8 students in special programs with teachers Ms. Butler, Ms. Ginder and Ms. Holte. We plan to bring our kindergarten and first grade students back for limited instruction of two hours a day for the remainder of the week. Principal Geddes will communicate her plans for the week of September 21st and beyond as Linn County has clearance to bring K-3rd grade students back for full day in-person learning. If you have any questions, call your school's main office.
Parents of K-3 graders, please have your child let his/her teacher know if they will be eating lunch at school when they arrive each day. We are trying to give our kitchen a lunch count. Remember, breakfast and lunch is free through December.
Important information regarding expanded hours for K-3 students!!
