No completed work (online, worksheets, or portfolios) will be accepted after May 28!
Be sure to contact your mentor right away if you have a question or issue regarding your student’s courses.
Re-enrollment for 2021-22
Re-enrollment for the new school year will be opening very soon. We wanted to let you know to look for a re-enrollment email. We ask everyone to complete the re-enrollment form, whether or not you are planning on returning. That way we know what your plans are for the new school year. You can start planning your curriculum for next year and making wish lists for resource ordering, which opens on July 1. Also, if you would like to enroll another child, please complete the new student application, which can be accessed from your parent dashboard.
Reimbursement Requests
You are able to submit a reimbursement request through May 31 for each child. Only one document may be uploaded for each reimbursement request, but you may include multiple receipts in the document.
You can check your student’s funding balance by going to your parent dashboard and scrolling down to see your child’s name. Then click on Student Funding Account, where you’ll see the remaining balance for your child.
NEW: Edgenuity Announcement
We are pleased to announce the addition of Edgenuity courses to Harmony’s robust course catalog for the 2021-22 school year.
Edgenuity provides online courses for grades 6-12 in core and elective courses.

As you prepare to select courses for your children for the new school year, we encourage you to review the Curriculum Orientation to see all of Harmony’s course offerings. A variety of curriculum providers are available so that you can customize your child’s course schedule to meet their unique educational goals, needs, and interests.
Educational Experiences for the Summer
We know this year has been a tough one in many respects. As the official school year winds down, we thought to share some no-cost resources and ideas with you to support your student’s progress through the summer months and in preparation for next year. Consider a relaxed learning schedule for the summer, for example, 30 minutes of reading and 20 minutes of math 3-5 times a week, nature exploration or field trips 1 time a week, etc.
- If you have an online course such as MobyMax or DreamBox, these courses will remain available until the end of June.
- The supplemental programs (Reading eggs, Study Island, BrainPop) will also remain active until the end of June.
- Many local libraries have summer reading programs – make it fun!
- Here are a list of some online resources
- Printable handouts, many subjects
- K-5 learning games
- Math Drills (printable worksheets)
- Physics games (many ages)
- Book creator
- World of Tales
- Summer activities from an OT
- Summer activities for Executive Functioning
- Utah Educator Network (UEN) – many lesson plans for all subjects
