Hello Hardy Families,

Hopefully everyone is continuing to feel excited about the start of school this year! I was greeted by a special “Welcome Mr. Smith” message on a message board in front of the school this past week. Thanks to the Hardy PTO for this thoughtful gesture and for your continued support!

As we begin our in person learning for our hybrid students later this week, there are a number of new procedures that are designed to promote the health & safety of our community. Please take the time to click on the links below and read through our revised procedures. Also please note all the headers that are labeled “NEW” to signify a change from past procedures. A special thanks goes out to all the Hardy faculty and staff members who served on focus groups that helped to plan these new procedures for our community.
