Inspiring Potential. Enriching Futures.
The Thomas E. Harrington Middle School
is home to 1,056 students in Grades 7 and 8, and 125 staff members,
each school
day. The
professional
staff
of our school makes a daily commitment to go beyond minimum expectations
while we continue to raise our standards. Harrington students make
daily
contributions to their school and their community. Our achievements are also a result of the efforts made by area businesses, parental support, advisory groups, local public agencies, and individual community members. Collectively, these resources enhance and enrich the total teaching and learning environment. Our school provides students with many opportunities to develop academic concepts and skills, acquire fundamental knowledge, determine interests and special talents, and experience a sense of belonging. |

Students Create Harrington Welcome Videos in Five Languages!
Going to a new middle school is both an exciting and scary experience, particularly if your primary language is something other than English. But here at Harrington, students in Ms. Plunkett's classes have done a wonderful job of welcoming new students and visitors with helpful information in five languages. Check out their videos on our

Sports Physicals Procedures
The laws governing sports physicals have changed at the state level
and are extremely stringent. All sports physical forms must now undergo an additional level
of review by our district physician. Implementation of these laws may
actually preclude some students from participating if guidelines are not
followed.
Here are three very important factors to consider this year:
1.) Sports physicals will not be offered in our schools
this summer. These physicals must be completed either by your family
physician, or at the medical facility of your choice. Some suggested
facilities are listed below.
2.) The deadline for submission of sports physicals is
Mid-August for any student planning on trying out for Fall
Interscholastic Sports. Physicals submitted in September will not be
processed in time for the fall sports season.
3.) Parents should be aware that sports physicals submitted
will only be accepted if the examining doctor has signed the statement
that he/she has completed the required professional development module
on cardiac assessment. We are required to return any physical paperwork to
the parent/student if this statement is not signed by the doctor.
Find more information and the complete Grade 5-8 Physical and Athletic Form Packet at this link.
Mid-August: The deadline date for Fall Sports.
Mid-October: The deadline date for Winter Sports.
Mid-February: The deadline date for Spring Sports.
