A Message from Dr. Sharon Vitella
regarding Harrington's NCLB status
The Thomas E. Harrington Middle School
is home to 1,056 students in Grades 7 and 8, and 125 staff members,
each school
day. The
professional
staff
of our school makes a daily commitment to go beyond minimum expectations
while we continue to raise our standards. Harrington students make
daily
contributions to their school and their community. Our achievements are
also a result of the efforts made by area businesses, parental support,
advisory groups, local public agencies, and individual community members.
Collectively, these resources enhance and enrich the total teaching
and
learning environment.
Learning through teamwork, the heart of our school’s philosophy,
is accomplished by sound organization and programming. As a relatively
large middle school, we have organized into smaller learning environments – teams
- to create a more personalized environment designed to meet adolescent
needs. Our school provides students with many opportunities to develop
academic concepts and skills, acquire fundamental knowledge, determine
interests and special talents, and experience a sense of belonging.
Our teams are comprised of an interdisciplinary group of teachers working
together with one set of students. This design satisfies students’ needs
for close relationships with teachers and friends while moving towards
greater independence. Teachers have common planning time so they can meet
regularly to share program ideas and lessons, plan field trips and discuss
individual student progress and needs. Leadership and innovation are encouraged
at all levels. Through the use of technology, teacher webpages, voice mail,
and e-mail, teachers and parents are encouraged to keep a close partnership.
The challenges and obstacles facing today’s youth are greater than
ever. The continued support of our parents and the Mount Laurel community
is an essential part of our students’ success. Our Parent-Teacher
Organization (PTO) assists in many ways through volunteer efforts, fund-raising
and hard work to supplement our school efforts. Our Spirit Team provides
numerous outlets for family fun, and our entire student body and staff
take very seriously our commitment to community service to those in need.
