Harris Middle School

Soccer, Football, Cheerleading and Volleyball forms have been handed out and are due no later than May 22nd. It is very important that you put your child's grade that they will be going into in the fall. All sports will begin in August when your child returns to school.

Congratulations to these 7th grade students from Haley Daniels's class who won the Rotary Essay Contest!

If your student is going to purchase a device, please send them to the Library to prepay between 7:35 AM - 8:45 AM and 1:25 PM - 3:00 PM, Monday - Friday. Mrs. English will take their money and write them a receipt. They will be given their wiped device to keep after testing is complete. Please let Mrs. English know (nenglish@mhslive.net) if you have any questions!

Students have the option to purchase their iPad this year!! If you are interested in purchasing your child's iPad, prepay online through http://family.titank12.com or pay by cash or check (made out to the school). K-3 iPads (7th gen, 32gb) are $160 and 4th-12th iPads (7th gen, 128gb) are $200 cases included. iPads will be available to take home at the end of school after testing. We will have more information on take-home dates from each school later.

Any current 5th-11th grader who wants to participate in school sports next year must have an active sports physical on record at the school. Sports Physicals will be made available Wednesday, May 10th in the Mitchell High School gym at 3:00 pm.

Update : Mitchell County Sheriff's office has investigated the incident and there was no arrest and no credible threat. All Mitchell County Schools have been placed on a soft lockdown for the remainder of the day. This is in response to a non-specific threat outside the school system that law enforcement is currently investigating. Students are continuing with classes as usual, but not allowed outside the building. School dismissal will proceed as usual this afternoon.

Spring Break begins tomorrow, Friday, April 7 and continues through Friday, April 14th. We will see you on Monday, April, 17th!

If you have been trying to call your child's school and cannot get through, please call this number and let them know: 1-844-233-3369. AT&T WILL NOT work with us to get the issue resolved! Let them hear your concerns so hopefully we can get this problem fixed soon! Thank you!
