Welcome Back

Welcome Back, Falcons!

Dear HRMS Families,

Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year. We hope you are enjoying these final weeks of summer and finding time to relax, explore, and make memories with family and friends.

While summer is still in full swing, our Harbor Ridge team is busy preparing classrooms, hallways, and learning spaces for another great year. There is always a special energy that comes with a new school year. It is a fresh start filled with opportunities to learn, grow, build new friendships, and create lasting memories.

Starting a new school year can also bring a few butterflies. Students may be wondering what their classes will be like, who their teachers are, or who they will eat lunch with. These feelings are completely normal. We encourage you to talk with your student about the excitement and the unknowns of a new school year. Our staff is committed to creating a welcoming environment where every student feels seen, supported, and connected from day one.

Be sure to mark your calendar for Tuesday, August 19. We will welcome our newest Falcons during Level Up: 6th Grade Orientation in the morning. Please CLICK HERE to register. That afternoon, all returning students are invited to Ridge Ready Day, where they can walk their schedule, find classrooms, and reconnect with friends and staff before the first day of school.

As we prepare for another amazing year, please make sure you are connected through ParentSquare. ParentSquare is our primary communication platform and the best way to stay informed about important updates, events, and information throughout the school year.

We cannot wait to welcome our Falcons back to Harbor Ridge. Here's to a fantastic year ahead.

Go Falcons!
