Dear Harmony-Emge SD 175,
Due to the number of students currently quarantined, this Friday, January 14th - and each Friday in January - Harmony-Emge will implement a one-hour early release schedule (same times as Wednesday release times). This early release will allow our teachers and staff to more effectively plan and respond to our student needs in light of the ever-changing COVID-19 conditions.
The following dates will be a one- hour early release (Harmony and Emge 1:35pm, Ellis 2:30pm): January 14, 2022, January 21, 2022, January 28, 2022.
Thank you for your understanding and support during these difficult times,
Mrs. Lunz and Mrs. Kraemer
