This email contains two important announcements about fall.
|
It contains all of the information you need for the coming school year, such as supply lists, uniform/dress requirements, travel forms, required student summer reading, and much more, specific to your division. BEST after-school sign-up information will be posted there as it becomes available, as well.
The first thing you should read is the letter from your division head, which will prepare you for how the hub can help with your specific fall needs and requirements.
To facilitate urgent text messages to our families, be sure to register your cell phones in the Harker Messaging System (details are in the Hub).
And just a reminder that we no longer have a brick and mortar bookstore for supplies and P.E. uniforms. P.E. uniforms are now ordered in the online Eagle Store, and middle school locker locks and graphic notebooks will be available through student charges in the fall.
Important dates and deadlines:

|
Fri., July 7: Middle and upper school booklist posted in Hub

|
Fri., July 7: Virtual Bookstore opens (MBS Direct)

We are pleased to introduce our partnership with Zum carpool service for Harker families. Zum is an app-based, door-to-door service with drivers trained to ensure your children arrive at their destination safely and follow any parent-provided instructions for hand-off.
Have your child join a Zum carpool to or from Harker’s campuses and enjoy exclusive discounts. Sign up for free and Zum will help co-ordinate and find other Harker families for your child to carpool with.
Here’s why Zum rides are a great option for getting your child to or from school every day:

Flexibility: Zum can provide rides for all your child’s commute needs! In addition to school carpooling, you can book individual rides up to a year in advance for weekly soccer practice or one-off events.
