Principal's Corner
Dear Harborside Families,
Welcome back to Harborside Elementary, Home of the Tigers! We are excited to begin the 2026–27 school year and look forward to partnering with you to make it a successful and memorable year for all of our students.
As a Community School, Harborside takes great pride in building strong connections with our families and the community we serve. Our dedicated staff remains committed to providing a high-quality education that prepares students for future success. This year, we will continue our focus on strengthening mathematics instruction while helping students develop critical thinking skills, a growth mindset, and a lifelong love of learning.
At Harborside, we believe that student success extends beyond academics. We place equal importance on creating a safe, welcoming, and supportive environment where students feel valued, connected, and empowered to reach their full potential. Through our schoolwide systems of support, we work diligently to ensure that every child feels safe, respected, and ready to learn each day.
We also believe that learning should be engaging and enjoyable. Throughout the year, students will have opportunities to participate in a variety of exciting activities and events that build school spirit and strengthen our sense of community.
I am honored to continue this journey with our Harborside families. Together, we will ensure that every student is safe, supported, challenged academically, and inspired to achieve their very best. Thank you for being an essential part of our school community.
Go Tigers!
Luis Aparicio, Principal
