What Park Harrington School District does

Harrington Park School District is a single-campus public K-8 school district operating under a local Board of Education in Harrington Park, New Jersey (Bergen County). The district provides tuition-free Pre-Kindergarten through Grade 8 education to resident students, organized into a Pre-K program, three-section full-day Kindergarten, elementary grades 1-4 with multiple homeroom sections per grade, and a middle school program for grades 5-8 with subject-specific teachers across math, science, ELA, social studies, and electives. Core academic instruction is supplemented by a Gifted and Talented program (coordinated by Dana Petrie), a multi-disciplinary Child Study Team (school psychologist, social worker, LDT-C), guidance counseling, health office services, ESL support, art, music (band, choral, strings), physical education, library-media, and computer technology instruction.

Beyond academics, the district operates enrichment and safety services including the 'Spartan Summer Escape' summer program, Summer Packets for off-season learning, Clubs & Athletics (extracurriculars such as Girls Softball), and a Lightning Detection safety system. Specialized intervention infrastructure includes Resource Center staffing, Reading Lab, Math Intervention, LLD instruction, and speech language and occupational therapy services.

The district's business model is that of a New Jersey public school district: no tuition is charged to resident students, and revenue is generated through a combination of local property taxes, state aid, and federal grants under state education funding formulas. Administrative and technology infrastructure includes an Apptegy-powered website, integration with the Friday Parent Portal for parent access, HSA Membership Toolkit for the parent-teacher organization, and dedicated iOS and Android mobile apps. The district is led by Superintendent Sean Conlon, Principal Jessica Nitzberg, Assistant Principal Ross Herbert, and Business Administrator Bryan Jursca.
