News & Announcements

As PWPSD begins to plan for the next school year, HBS is asking you as parents/guardians to send a quick email to your child's homeroom teacher if you know or suspect that your child will be unable to join us next year at Harry Balfour School. This is in no way a final decision or set in stone (of course you can stay if you end up able to!), but it will help us as we start considering our enrollment numbers for next year.

As we wrap up Body Awareness Month, our students participated in an exciting POUND fitness session today! Not only did they get to work their bodies with this fun rhythmic cardio workout, but they also challenged their brains.
POUND involves crossing the midline, which engages both hemispheres of the brain, promoting better coordination and cognitive function. By incorporating music and rhythm with exercise, students improved their spatial awareness, balance, and body control. It's amazing how this workout blends fitness, brainpower, and fun!
Thank you to our guest teacher Erin Atkinson Jubb!😊

Kindergarten and new student registration opens Monday, March 10, but parents may begin the online registration process on Monday, February 24!

To register your child you will need:
✏ Your child's birth certificate
✏ A piece of mail showing your home address
✏ Any court orders affecting your child
