Dear Hardy families,

Groundbreaking Ceremony!

As a friendly reminder, tomorrow we will have our groundbreaking ceremony for the new Hardy School at 9:00 AM. This will take place at the end of Hardy Road and will be standing room (or bring your own camp chair) only. We look forward to celebrating the building of the new Hardy!

Placement information

Also as a reminder, It is time for us to begin the 2023-2024 placement process for students currently in grades K-4 (along with placing our incoming Kindergarten students). A great deal of time and consideration is given to achieving our goal, which is to make the best possible placement for every child at Hardy as we work to create balanced and heterogeneous classes. 

Your child’s teacher will work with the other member(s) of their grade level team, including special educators, specialists, and me to create effective instructional groups. The following factors will be considered: class size, gender, social relationships that work well in the classroom environment, and individual learning characteristics. 

If you feel you have a significant concern about an emotional, social, or academic issue that you think that we are not yet aware of, you are welcome to complete a Serious Concerns Form. As our goal is to form well-balanced classrooms, we cannot consider:

  1. Requests for specific teachers or teaching/personality styles

  2. Requests to be with specific friends

While this form is optional, if you wish to share any serious concerns, please complete the following form by Friday, April 14th. Parent input submitted after this date will not be considered.

Have a good remainder of the week!

Respectfully yours,

Grant Smith

Principal
