Huge congrats to Mrs. Michaelle Jaeger and Mrs. Shawna Sterling from Harlem Middle School 🎉 Not one, but TWO of our teachers were named Top 20 Finalists by the Golden Apple Foundation—a true testament to their dedication and impact on students.

🎙️ New #Talk122 Episode! Premieres tomorrow at 9:00 a.m. 👀 Dr. Yarbrough chats with Harlem’s HR team about how they support staff across the district — and we meet Dana Russell, the new Principal Secretary at Parker Center, bringing Harlem pride to her new role!

The Fall Edition of The Harlem Horizon is here! Students covered everything new at Harlem harlemhorizon.org

Thank you for your understanding and to the Loves Park Fire Department for their swift response. If you have questions, please contact the school office.

Two classrooms were primarily affected by the smoke caused by the mechanical issue. Those classes have been temporarily relocated until the rooms have aired out. Learning will continue for all students.  At this time, students have been cleared to re-enter the building.

At 10:08 a.m. today, a mechanical issue in a rooftop unit caused smoke at Loves Park Elementary which activated the fire alarm. Students and staff evacuated quickly and safely per our evacuation procedures.

The Loves Park Fire Department inspected the building and confirmed there was no active fire.
