A Message from Dr. James P. Doran, 
Director of Personnel/Human Resources/Compliance 
and Crisis Management for Harrison Public Schools
6/1/20


Earlier this week, Governor Murphy announced that in-person graduation ceremonies may commence in July, however, a strict set of guidelines must be followed in order for this to occur. After reviewing the State’s formal guidelines and meeting with our fellow Hudson County school districts, local and county officials and emergency management teams, we will continue to move forward with our plans for virtual graduation ceremonies. This is the same decision that the New Jersey Department of Education has recommended, noting it is the “safest alternative graduation ceremony at this time.” We expect that these virtual ceremonies will have a high level of student participation, and give you - as our graduates - many fond, lifelong memories to cherish. We have been directed by the State time and time again to base our decisions on the data and numbers provided to us, in keeping Harrison safe.

WiFi HotSpots

STEPS ON HOW TO GAIN ACCESS TO WIFI

1. Visit xfinity.com/wifi to see a map of Xfinity WiFi hotspots. Open hotspots, both indoor and outdoor, will be displayed on the map in a blue color. Once at a hotspot, customers and non-customers should select xfinitywifi from the list of available WiFi networks, and then launch a browser. (please note that it must be 'xfinitywifi' all small letters, any other xfinity wifi will take you to one that requires a login)

2. Non-Xfinity Internet customers can connect by clicking the Accept & Connect button. Non-Xfinity customers will be able to renew their complimentary sessions every two hours. (so you'll have to renew your connection and start these steps over every 2 hours)
