      Progress Reports Information: September 2024

      Please look for your child’s progress report to arrive in the mail shortly.

      Progress reports are distributed quarterly to keep you informed of your child’s academic progress.

      You may also use the Infinite Campus Parent Portal to access information about assignments, grades, attendance and more.

      If you're new to the district or haven't yet used the Infinite Campus parent portal, contact your child's school directly for an activation key.

      Infinite Campus is accessible via our district web page at eriesd.org by clicking on the "Parents" tab.

      Infinite Campus Mobile Apps can also be downloaded through the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.

       

      A reminder for our kindergarten families:

      Your child’s progress report 1st quarter will include only your child’s attendance information; kindergarten students do not receive letter grades on quarterly progress reports. 

      Each semester, your kindergarten student will be evaluated as “S” (Satisfactory), “P” (Progressing), “R” (Reinforcement Needed), or “X” (Not Graded at this Time) in various skills.

    Mission Statement

    • Profile: 
       
      Harding School is located at 820 Lincoln Avenue in the Northwest perimeter of the City of Erie, Pennsylvania. The school houses over 650 students and over 70 staff members.
       
       
       
      Vision Statement 
       
      Harding School will prioritize high levels of engagement and personalized pathways to educational excellence for every student, without exception. We will continue to maximize instructional time and analyze data regularly to make informed decisions regarding student instruction and staff professional development. Targeted interventions will focus on increasing ELA and Math proficiency rates and completion of Career Readiness artifacts to ensure students are prepared for their next pathway. Equitable access to instruction will be a priority for all students. In addition, a focus on attendance recognition will motivate students to attend school daily and interventions will decrease chronic absenteeism. As a Community School we strive to create a school environment that is safe, secure, supportive, and welcoming to all students, families, and staff. We instill in our students the values of diversity, inclusion, and kindness. Students feel valued at our school and believe in themselves and their peers. Our SWPBIS program is intertwined with our academics, and all Harding students are expected to be respectful, responsible, safe, and focused.
