PARKING LOT CHANGES

I want to thank everyone for their part in making the morning drop off safer and easier on everyone.  Mrs. Wagner and I will continue to direct traffic the remainder of the week in the mornings.  Now we will be making a plan for the after school pick up procedures.  This is much harder of an issue to comprehend as we have all parents picking up their child/ren at the same time.  In the mornings, parents are staggered and it is easier to come up with a plan.  In the meantime, for the afternoons, please drive safely and follow the rules of the parking lot.  My hope is that soon we will have a plan in place to help the congestion. 

PLEASE FOLLOW THE RULES OF THE PARKING LOT IN THE MORNING!

Dear Parents,

It has become apparent that our drop-off rules in the morning are not being followed.  It gets harder as the season changes and not as many students ride their bikes.  The difference now is that more students are being driven to school. 

If you are dropping your child off, you have to drop and go.  If you take longer then 30 seconds to drop your child off, it backs traffic up.  When traffic backs up, people tend to take risks that are not safe.  Please keep the traffic moving and at all times watch for students crossing the parking lot.  If you want to watch or walk your child into the school, park your vehicle on the road or parking lot and walk your child in.  You can never leave your car unattended in the drop off lanes.

Thank you, 

Mike Munzke
Harrisburg Explorer Principal

PLEASE READ: SCHOOL WINTER WEATHER INFORMATION

SCHOOL REACH

It is the time of year where we make preparations for the future snow and inclement weather.  The Harrisburg School District will utilize School Reach to pass along any cancellations and late starts.  You should also watch the television stations and/or listen to the radio for any announcements if you have concerns about the weather.  If you do not receive a School Reach message the night before or morning of a late start or school cancellation, please call the school and we will take care of any issues.  Also, please read the above information titled "Winterletter" from our Superintendent.  

CONGRATULATIONS TO MRS. COSTAIN

Congratulations to Mrs. Costain!  She recently received the South Dakota Pathfinder's Award for distinguished work in the field of coaching and instructing girls and women in sport.  This is a prestigious award that began in 1991 and is given annually to a deserving individual.  Again, congratulations to Mrs. Costain and we are all very proud of you.  

EXPLORER CHOSEN AS DISTINGUISHED SCHOOL FOR 2ND STRAIGHT YEAR

For the 2nd year in a row, Harrisburg Explorer has been chosen as a "Distinguished School" based on our No Child Left Behind testing results.  This is a significant honor, and one that we are very proud of. 

Parking Lot Information

A reminder to everyone that the speed limit in our parking lot is 10 mph.  Please follow the speed limit and the rules for the safety of our students.  Police will be monitoring our parking lot and roads around Explorer. 

Also, to keep our lines moving in a more convenient matter for everyone, please follow these simple rules.  If you are walking your child into the school, please park in our parking lot.  Another rule to follow is that if it takes longer than 1 minute for your children to exit your vehicle then also park in the parking lot.  A few extra walking steps could help keep the lines moving and for everyone to slow down in our parking lot.

Questions, Contact us!

If you have any questions during this school year, please contact the office through email, phone, or by stopping by.  We are here for the students safety, to give the best education possible, and to answer any questions for everyone's convenience.
