• Hello! I am Mrs. Ott Zurcher and I will be teaching your child this year. I am excited to be starting this new school year. Here's a little information about me. I have been teaching in the Erie School District for many years and this is my second year teaching 3rd grade at Harding. I believe that all students can reach their potential with patience, support and love. My standards are high because I know what they need to succeed in the higher grades because I have taught them. I truly love what I do! If you have any questions throughout the year please use either Parentsquare or my email. (szurcher@eriesd.org) I am looking forward to a year of great learning and student growth.
