Harrington Middle School SeaPerch teams Katrina and Salvataras competed at the International SeaPerch Challenge, which took place on May 30th and 31st at the University of Maryland. Teams created technical design reports [to communicate the team's intentional design process], gave a presentation about their SeaPerch journey, and competed in two pool events: Mission Course and Obstacle Course. The Obstacle Course tests high-speed maneuverability and requires the SeaPerch ROV to navigate the course as quickly as possible. This year's theme for the Mission Course was Storm Response: Technology in Action for Recovery and Relief. The challenges reflected the real-world role of robotics in helping communities respond to and recover from storms and other natural events.

210 teams from 6 different countries competed.

For Middle School Stock Class, Katrina placed 9th overall out of 88 teams.

For Open Class (which includes both middle schools and high schools), Salvataras placed 6th overall out of 40 teams.

Head coach Mr. Grundel and assistant coach Ms. Ashman are so proud of all the hard work and dedication that the teams put in this season.

Two Harrington students will be traveling to Virginia to compete in the National Club Championships for field hockey. Kenley Slepian, current 7th grader, and Sophia Tosadori, current 8th grader, will represent Team New Jersey later this month. Only 24 total teams make it to this level and event.

Preschool Lottery and Kindergarten registration for the 2026-2027 School Year for incoming students remains open. Our Registration page can be accessed here.

All children must be five (5) years old on or before October 1 to be eligible for kindergarten enrollment. Accordingly, students are expected to enter kindergarten during the school year in which they are age five.

Parents should not delay a child's enrollment in kindergarten with the expectation that the child will begin kindergarten at age six. If a child who is age six is presented for initial enrollment, the child will be placed in first grade consistent with the district's age-based grade placement requirements.

Please be advised that beginning with the 2027–2028 school year, the district will no longer consider or approve requests for placement in a grade level that is inconsistent with a student's age and standard grade progression.

Your review of this information is REQUIRED even if changes are not necessary!

Please be aware - Student's Grade and School information was populated from the current 2025-2026 school year. Your student will be progressing to their next grade (and next school).

It is absolutely crucial that we have current, updated contact information for all students in our schools on an annual basis, and immediately as that information changes during the year.
