New Changes to Harrison

The next time you are in the building, take a look at the beautiful new artwork going up around the school. Over the summer we had paint and new flooring added to many of our spaces. Be sure to check out our Facebook page for all the latest photos and updates. 

Playground Dedication

Harrison Elementary celebrated the completion of their new playground project with a ribbon cutting event.  This project was a collaborative effort supported by several community organizations and businesses.  Thank you to the following donors:  The Scott County Regional Authority, Harrison PTA, Jersey Ridge Dental Associates, IH Mississippi Valley Credit Union, RE/MAX Elite Homes QC, Hoker Trucking, Mack Orthodontics, Sierk Orthodontics, QC Pain and Wellness Center, and Smart Toyota Davenport.  It’s great to be a Hawk!

A Note from our Nurse

Dear Parents and Guardians:

Hi! My name is Kristen Swisher and I am the school nurse at Harrison Elementary. I also am the nurse at Mid City High School and Adams Elementary. Dominique Nuci is our health para and will be in the office everyday and I will be in office at least one and a half days a week. Please call me anytime with any questions or concerns at (563) 723-6500. I look forward to meeting each and everyone of you.

As we start the school year I thought it might helpful for you to have a little information about the nurses office and how things go:

• If your child has a change in their health status, needs to take medication at school, develops a chronic disease or a communicable disease please call me.

• If your child is ill and they have to stay home from school please call into the office and give two symptoms as to why your child is staying home.
