The Harrison Elementary school offers a range of learning opportunities for children. These are called curriculum benchmarks, and they guide instruction in reading, writing, math, science and social studies. Eventually, these benchmarks will exist in all curriculum areas. The school also offers opportunities for students to grow and learn through special activities, clubs and other events.
Some teachers also publish classroom news.
The school handbook contains general information, school policies, homework and discipline expectations. Teachers want them to understand that words express ideas, which can be written down and read by others. During the year students work with words and stories in many different ways. Students and teachers write group stories. Individual students write stories in their journals.
