2025-2026 Yearbook
Yearbook orders are being accepted for this school year. Below is the link to order a yearbook.
Harter's school code: 14512
Please don't hesitate to purchase a yearbook if your child would like one. The purchasing deadline is January 30th. We typically have upset students at the end of the year when we tell them there aren't extra yearbooks available for purchase.

i-Ready Testing
All students will take the i-Ready math and reading assessments the week of December 1st. We have a special schedule that we will follow, but our students will still attend all of their classes each day. Please take note of the important information below.
- Testing will take place from 8:04-9:04 a.m. each day Dec 1-5.
- Students should make sure their chromebook is charged the night before each day of testing.
- Students should eat a good breakfast before coming to school.
- Students need earbuds for the assessments.
- These assessments, along with other criteria, help us place students into appropriate classes (i.e., Accelerated Math, Challenge ELA, etc.). These tests should be taken seriously.
e-Learning Information
Now that the winter season is upon us, we wanted to share our plan in case an e-learning day is called in lieu of a non-attendance day. You can find more information on e-Learning by clicking here.
Early Release Days
Please note that we have early-release days on Thursday, December 18th and Friday, December 19th. Students will be released one hour earlier than usual (1:40 p.m.).
End of 2nd Term - Report Cards
The end of the 2nd Term is Friday, December 19th. Report cards will be ready for viewing on January 9th after 3:00 p.m.
Veterans Day Assembly Thank You
We had over 30 veterans attend our Veterans Day Assembly and our guest speaker, Sergeant Major Bryan Goff, shared a special message for our students and veterans in attendance. Thank you for making this day so special year after year. #kanelandpride
