Hello Hardy

Hello Hardy families,

Highlights from the Past Week: We had our School Book Fair. As part of this, we had a Family Night on Wednesday. Assistant Principal Mrs. O’Brien did a read-aloud during this event.  We had a School Spirit Day on Friday. First grade students showed off their Hardy Husky spirit! Parent-Teacher Conferences We will begin parent-teacher conferences this week. As part of this, parents/guardians and teachers will come together to discuss students and establish a shared vision for student success. Lost and Found A table will be set up near the office with lost and found items. Please check it out when you are here for conferences, and encourage your children to look for any missing clothing, water bottles, etc. We will donate unclaimed items to a local charity. Handicapped Parking Reminder & Showing Respectful Behavior During Drop Off/Pick Up As a reminder, parents/guardians/caregivers must adhere to the signage and only park in the handicapped parking spots if there is a handicapped placard in place. Also handicapped parking spaces need to remain accessible at all times. As part of this, in the Weston Road parking lot, there should be no parking (or live parking) in the striped space adjacent to the Handicapped spots or in the end cap at the end of the lot. Also, I would remind adults to show respectful behavior to one another on school property, as this not only helps adults to feel respected, but also sets an appropriate example to children. Thank you for your cooperation.  Parking in Bus/Van Line We’ve noticed recently that there are cars parking in the bus/van line during pick up times. This lane is for bus/vans only during pick up time. Outside of school hours (specifically after 3:30 PM on M, Tu, Th, and F & after 12:30 PM on Wednesdays), cars can use this lane for parking. Pumpkin Parade & PJ Day Reminder On Oct. 31st at 9:00 AM, we will have our second annual Pumpkin Parade. Students are encouraged to bring decorated pumpkins to school. Parents/guardians are invited to come to school, starting to arrive around 8:45 AM to view these pumpkins and be in position as students parade through the line. Students are also invited to wear pajamas to school.  Have a great week! Respectfully yours, Grant Smith Principal
