Dear Harker families – 
This email contains two important announcements about fall.
The annual Back-to-School Hub is now open in the parent and student portals. 
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:
bullet Fri., July 7: Middle and upper school booklist posted in Hub
bullet Fri., July 7: Virtual Bookstore opens (MBS Direct)
bullet Tues., Aug. 1: 2017-18 school year forms due
New Harker carpool partnership offered this fall
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:
1. Fully vetted drivers: Each family is assigned a consistent pool of fingerprinted and TrustLine-certified drivers with mandatory childcare experience.
2. Fully vetted drivers: Each family is assigned a consistent pool of fingerprinted and TrustLine-certified drivers with mandatory childcare experience.
3. Ride with friends: Know other families that would like to carpool with your child? Invite them to join your child’s carpool when you sign up; otherwise Zum will help find other Harker families to carpool with.
4. 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.
Visit the Zum-Harker carpool website to learn more.

Questions? Contact Zum directly at 909.554.3833 or email support@ridezum.com.



Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you all in August!
