Hello Hardy Families
Highlights from the past week
On Friday, we had our first all-school meeting, which was led by our 5th graders. As part of this meeting, fifth graders shared about the RISE (Respect, Include, Safety, Encouragement & Effort) framework. Faculty & Staff also surprised students by singing the RISE song wearing sunglasses and other fun additions. See video link.
Hardy School Spirit
On Friday, it was also our first School Spirit Day as students and staff wore Hardy Husky gear to school or red/black colored clothing. It was great to see all the Hardy Husky spirit!
A Conversation with School Committee Members
Hardy parents and caregivers are invited to meet with two members of the School Committee on Wednesday, October 2 from 9-10 a.m. on Zoom. This will be an informal discussion regarding current Committee activities as well as an opportunity for Q&A. I will also be in attendance, as will the Superintendent.
The School Committee has five elected members who serve 3-year terms. In addition to supporting the core values, vision and mission of the Wellesley Public Schools, the Committee’s responsibilities are to develop and manage school policies; support the allocation of resources by overseeing budget & facilities; hire and review the superintendent of schools; and advocate for the school district.
Zoom link for the meeting is here.
School Photos Reminder
As a reminder, this Wednesday is school photo day. Families are reminded to send their child(ren) to school prepared for school photos.
No School Reminder
As a reminder, we have no school this Thursday in honor of Rosh Hashanah.
Car Drop Off/Pick Up Line
For students who might need extra support getting in or out of vehicles, we would ask parents/guardians/caregivers to pull all the way up to the front of the line before students exit or enter the vehicle. This will help provide a safe area for students to enter/exit vehicles while also promoting a smooth carline. Thanks for your cooperation.
Respectfully yours,
Grant Smith
Principal
