Hello Harmony / Garfield County Families,
We hope you are having a wonderful spring! With more sunshine and nature blossoming, we know you and your students are wanting to get outside more and get fresh air. It isn’t quite summer time, but May will be here before we know it.
So help to encourage your children to complete their school work so that they are up to date and have everything submitted before the end of the school year. If you have any issues or questions, remember that your mentor is always there to help you. If you forget how to contact them, their email is at the bottom of this email.

Possible Salt Lake Options Day
We are gathering information about how many students might attend an Options Day site in the Salt Lake area. A minimum of 40 students is needed to open a new location.
If you are interested in Options Day coming to the Salt Lake area, please email our Options Day manager, Michelle Symkoviak, at msymkoviak@harmonyed. Be sure to include your name, contact information, and how many students would be attending.
Re-enrollment 2023-24
Enrollment will open up this month for the 2023-24 school year. You will receive an email with instructions on how to re-enroll. If you have younger children or friends who would like to enroll, you can complete a new student application now. We look forward to working with your family for the new school year!
Important: Garfield Homeroom / Attendance
Be sure to have your child respond to the weekly discussion post in the Garfield Homeroom in Canvas. The question is posted each Friday, and you have until the following Friday to answer the question. Doing so provides GCSD a weekly “attendance log,” and this is an important part of your child’s enrollment with GCSD.
Portfolio Submissions for 4th Quarter
The 4th quarter portfolio submissions are due on Apr. 28 and must be submitted by May 25. All portfolios need to be submitted no later than May 25 to give the teachers time to review and grade them before the end of the quarter. If you have any questions about portfolios, please contact your mentor.
The guidelines for portfolios are as follows:
- 5-8 portfolio items per subject.
- Items need to show student work, and examples could include worksheets, reports, tests/quizzes, science projects, etc. Remember that portfolio Items should be the student’s actual work, not a learning log or description of what the student has been doing.
- Portfolio items need to be grade-level work.
- Portfolio items need to demonstrate student work over the course of at least 2 months.
- Be sure that any files that you submit are in pdf or jpeg format. Some formats are not accessible for our teachers. Only file formats that a teacher can access will be graded.
