John D. Hardy Elementary School

WPS is transitioning our mass communication platform for emails, calls, and text messages from SchoolMessenger to ParentSquare. ParentSquare uses 1 email address and 1 phone number from PowerSchool for each parent/guardian/caregiver. Please check your contact information in the PowerSchool Parent Portal and delete any outdated phone numbers or emails. Learn more about ParentSquare (PSQ).

The nursing department is in the process of updating your student’s health records for the new school year. This triggers a monthly email reminder to parents/guardians to confirm or update their student’s medication permissions, immunizations, and health conditions. This process ensures that the information in your student’s health records is accurate and yearly permissions are confirmed for the new school year.  Log into Powerschool using the same username and password you use to access report cards and click the SNAP Health Portal icon on the left sidebar. Read more details on the the Nursing Department Website.

Please join us for Hardy’s annual end of the year Concert at 8:45 a.m. on Friday, June 13th in the Hardy Cafeteria. Third to fifth grade students from the Band and Orchestra and the Fifth Grade Chorus will perform a selection of popular tunes.

Students receiving antibiotics for a contagious condition such as strep throat must stay out of school until 24 hours of antibiotic therapy has been completed. Excessive coughing and nasal discharge and generally not feeling well are indications that the child should remain home.

If your child has a temperature of 100 degrees or above (taken orally) in the morning, it is recommended that (s) he remain home. Students should remain home for 24 hours after a fever has subsided without the use of fever-reducing medication such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Motrin). If your child develops a fever during school hours, they will not be allowed to return to the classroom and will remain in the health office until dismissed to a parent/guardian or their designee.
