About Partners in Education
Partnerships between school districts and community organizations let schools draw on rooted community assets to confront key areas of concern, including basic family needs, technology access, childcare, and academic content delivery and enrichment. - EdResearch 2021
We view our community partners as a vital part of education. School Partnerships strengthen relationships between schools and families. They also help us prepare students for college, career, and citizenship by offering additional opportunities, support, and enrichment. Effective partnerships provide families access to the full range of services and opportunities they need to thrive.
AT HARMONY PUBLIC SCHOOLS, WE ENCOURAGE LEARNERS TO UNDERSTAND THEIR ROLE IN THE BROADER COMMUNITY. WE MODEL THIS BY COLLABORATING WITH OUR COMMUNITY IN MUTUALLY BENEFICIAL RELATIONSHIPS THAT MEET COMMON GOALS. THIS PRINCIPLE IS PART OF OUR NORTH STAR AND OUR GRADUATE PROFILE. THESE IMPORTANT VALUES PREPARE OUR STUDENTS FOR LIFE BEYOND OUR DOORS AND BEYOND HIGH SCHOOL.
