Back to School Info 2024
Saturday, July 13, 2024Welcome New & Returning Families to the 2024-2025 School Year! We are excited to welcome more than 800 students to campus this fall!
Below you will find very important information as you plan for the new school year:
School Calendar - Our 2024-2025 School Calendar can be found HERE. Please note that there were some modifications made to the new calendar since the initial release in April. Please make sure you take some time to review all of the start dates. The key dates (ie. Christmas break, Graduation, etc.) will not change after today, so if you need this information for scheduling vacations or graduation parties, etc. the information is accurate. (The website contains a PDF version that you can print.)
Dress Code - Click here to reivew the Student Dress Code. Students are expected to be dressed in the approved dress code on their scheduled first day of school. Educational Apparel is our only uniform provider, which means all uniform apparel items must be purchased through their store. Approved school pants must have the 'HPS' seal above the back pocket. Purchasing khakis from Old Navy or other retail stores is prohibited. In addition, please be reminded that students are not approved to have hair unnatural colors (ie. pink, blue, orange, green, etc.).
Student Accounts - This is a reminder that all student enrollment associated fees must be paid in full before a student can begin classes in August. Tuition payments can still be scheduled for a monthly payment plan. Students with an outstanding balance for 2023-2024 will not be permitted to begin school until the outstanding balance and the 2024-2025 fees are paid in full.
Warrior Welcome Days - These days are specifically designed for you to come to campus and meet teachers, drop off supply items, complete any outstanding forms (ie. enrollment, lunch, nurse, etc.). Upper School (9-12): Friday, August 16 from 2:00pm-6:00pm. Middle School (6-8) & Lower School (1-5): Monday, August 19 from 2:00pm-6:00pm. Kindergarten: Thursday, August 15 from 5:00pm-6:00pm.
Supply Lists - We do require specific supply items for students in K-8. Here is the updated 2024-2025 Supply List. Students in 9-12 are asked to purchase general supply items, as students often add/drop courses within the first few days of school. Students in 9-12 will be provided with required supply items on the first day of school within the course syllabus for each class.
Student Schedules - Our school counselor, Mrs. McClure, will be working on completing student course schedules at the beginning of August. There is nothing further that students need to do at this time. Students will have ample time during Warrior Welcome Day to make changes to their schedule before the first day of school.
Chromebooks - To expedite your time at your scheduled Warrior Welcome Day, please sign your student's Chromebook Agreement Form and return to info@harvestprep.org or bring it with you on your scheduled day. This is a required form for all students in order to receive a school email address and access to a Chromebook. Students are not permitted to bring personally-owned laptops, Chromebooks, or iPads to campus this year due to network security.
Cell Phones - We are following the new guidance established by the State of Ohio and our students are not permitted to use cell phones on campus during the school day. Our staff will always graciously provide the opportunity for students to turn off and store their cell phones if they are out during class, but any refusal to do so will result in the cell phone being confiscated and a parent/guardian will have to retrieve the phone from the office (during school hours).
School Hours - We will be starting school at 8:00am again this year. The only modification to our end time is that 6-12 will now be releasing at 2:45pm. More information will be provided in August about the new bell schedule.
New Administrators - Mr. Oswald has been promoted to serve as our new Assistant Head of Upper School (9-12). He will also have oversight of all-things student spiritual development. We are also excited to announce that Mrs. Hughes will now be serving as our new Head of Lower School (K-5). Mr. Hooper will remain as our Head of Middle School (6-8) and Mr. Mills will be returning as our Head of School (K-12) and Head of Upper School (9-12).
Additional information will be added to this page as we get closer to the start of school in August.
