  • If you are working on paper packets, the drop-off / pick up days are Monday, May 4th & Tuesday, May 5th from 8:00-3:30. Tables will be outside of the front doors of Harding. Please make sure students have their names on the front of every subject along with their teacher's name circled so they can receive credit.

  • The last packet drop-off dates are scheduled for May 21st & May 22nd.

  • Attention parents... Due to Covid 19, Steubenville City Schools has canceled Maymester. The 4th 9 weeks has been extended through the month of May.

  • Any CCP Courses are canceled as well.

  • We will inform you when yearbooks are in.

  • Sadly, we will have to recognize our 8th graders leaving us in a different format this year. There will not be a social gathering. Look for a virtual celebration to replace 8th grade graduation. More information to come.


Message from the Nurse
Vaccines for upcoming 7th graders:
Dear 6th grade parents,
Hope everyone is staying safe and feeling healthy. This is the time of year that we remind all 7th graders- to- be that they are required by the Ohio Dept of Health to obtain the ​Tdap and Meningococcal vaccines for the fall of 2020. ​ If the vaccines are against your beliefs or there is a doctor’s order to abstain from these shots then an exemption must be filed in the main office. Please know that because of social distancing and your personal safety, we are not advising you to get these until Gov. Dewine says it is time to venture out of our homes. Your Doctor may already have arrangements made for your safety in their waiting rooms though. Of course, the school based health clinic at Harding is available to service you daily 7:30am to 3:30pm, Monday - Friday and will be available all summer long. As soon as you get these vaccines please send in your updated shot record or the card they give you so that I can record it. If you choose the school clinic, they will give me the information.​ Proof is required by the 2nd week of school / Sept. 1st.
Thank you and WASH YOUR HANDS! :) Nurse Neely misses you!
Family Medical Care School Based Health Center
CHANGE, INC.
CHANGE, INC. will be able to start providing care for those students who turn in their Family Medical Care packets.

We have behavioral health & counseling available as well. The clinic also offers a fully functioning lab.

The School Based Heath Care, by no means, replaces your child's pediatrician or family provider. The providers will assure a summary of the visit will be sent to your family provider . Parents can schedule appointments for their child before, during, or immediately after school. Parents are also welcomed at the appointments if they would like to be there.


The school Based Health Care hours will be Monday - Friday 7:30AM - 3:30PM at Harding
