What a busy and exciting week of celebrations at Harbor View!
Our week began with a big surprise from our PTA and Mr. Shark, who paid a special visit to the cafeteria to kick off our annual Let's Move! 2026 Fundraiser. Students were thrilled as Mr. Shark danced along to Move It! Move It! and Baby Shark, bringing lots of smiles, laughter, and energy to the start of the week.
On Wednesday evening, we connected with families during our virtual Family Curriculum Night, where teachers shared what students will be learning and accomplishing during the school year and how families can support their success at home.
On Thursday, we welcomed October with our staff proudly wearing pink in support of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. At Harbor View, we stand together and support one another.
Today, we also took time to celebrate our incredible custodians, Mr. Joe and Mr. Kenny, whose hard work, dedication, and caring spirits help keep our school clean, safe, and a wonderful place to learn each day.
And the celebrations are not over yet! Tonight, we invite families to join us for our PTA's first Dine Out Night of the school year at Sally's Southern on Forest Avenue. Thank you for supporting our PTA and helping us continue to build a strong and connected Harbor View school community!

⭐ Why students should use their DOE email
When students log in with their DOE @nycstudents.net account:

- No renaming is needed.
This is the fastest and most accurate way to join remote classes.

Families may join the meeting using their personal Zoom account, but:
- You must rename yourself with your child’s full name and class or grade.
Example: “Ava Rodriguez – 3rd Grade” - Select breakrooms and click the one for your class / grade
- If you join this way, someone from our team will assist you and move your child to the correct breakout room.
