Words not needed...  

Harwood Team;  

The expertise and dedication of the Harwood staff to our students and community at large has been reinforced each day we have been here.

Specifically, your desire to ensure we support ALL of our students has clearly surfaced.  With that understanding - we are excited to collaboratively develop a system that supports our school in fostering a community that is caring, connecting and curious.  

Additionally, the desire for continued cohesion and clear communication in order to have a Harwood community that works symbolically has also been shared.  

In partnership,

Laurie, Duane and Meg
