Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:
We are very pleased to announce that we will be using two new and innovative information systems starting this school year, 2017-2018.

The first system, Skyward, is a student information system. Skyward’s Family Access will assist our Harmony schools with maintaining open lines of communication between the school and home. Students and parents can login to view attendance, grades, schedules and calendars. Students can also perform their course selections online with Skyward.
The second system, SchoolCafé, will connect families to the school’s meal program. Parents can apply for free and reduced meal benefits and manage their student’s meal account in SchoolCafé. Both system are available anywhere with an internet connection. Links to these systems are provided on the school’s website and below.
