Pre-K Family Engagement Plan 2024-2025 Vision Harmony’s vision is to lead our students from the classroom into the world as productive and responsible citizens. Mission Harmony Public Schools' mission is to prepare students for higher education and careers by providing a quality, student-centered educational program with a strong emphasis on science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM). Family Engagement Active family engagement in a child's early years is essential for promoting school readiness and facilitating sustained academic and personal success. Research indicates that when families actively participate in their child's education, the resulting benefits are significant, leading to improved outcomes over time. This involvement not only bolsters a child's confidence and competencies but also establishes a supportive foundation that fosters a lifelong passion for learning. By collaborating with families, we can cultivate a nurturing environment that enables children to excel both academically and in their future endeavors.
