Dear Hardy families,
It was great to welcome our students back this past week!
With each PTO newsletter, I will include a principal letter that will include highlights from the previous week, information about upcoming events and other miscellaneous information. Here are a few updates for this week.
School Council Parent representatives
We have two parent representative vacancies on the School Council. The School Council meets monthly on the first Thursday of each month (Oct-May) from 7:45-8:30 AM over Zoom. The Council is comprised of the principal, a community representative, and an equal distribution of teachers and parents. Councils are tasked with assisting the principal by reviewing the school building budget and the school improvement plan. The Council also helps to support overall school improvement initiatives. If you are interested, please email me directly at smithg@wellesleyps.org by this Friday, September 9th. There will be an election to determine these representatives. Stay tuned for more information on this election in the coming weeks.
Car line reminders
Drop off reminders:
*Please pull all the way to the front of the line before letting children out of the car.
*Please pull around the far curve at the end of Hardy Rd.
*Please do not let your children out of the car at the back of the line.
*Please do not get out of the car to help your child out. Let a staff member on duty help your child out.
*Please do not park in the angled spaces by the end of Hardy Rd. during drop off.
Pick up reminders:
*Please do not leave a gap between cars while waiting in line.
*Please do not block driveways.
*Please do not leave your car unattended.
*As the car line gets to the end of Hardy Rd. and wraps onto Weston Rd, please pull up onto the Weston Rd. curb to allow traffic on Weston Rd. to pass.
*Please do not cut to the front of the car line.
*Please do not pick up your children at the back of the line. Pull up to where staff members are releasing students.
Training Video:
Please see this helpful video that was created a couple years ago to help teach community members about these procedures.

Hopefully by everyone following these rules, we can make the car line efficient and safe for our students!
Free School Lunch
To ensure children have continued access to nutritious meals, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has extended the nationwide waiver allowing school Food Service sites to offer free meals through the 2022-2023. All students, regardless of a family’s financial means, will be offered No Cost meals.
Special Thanks
*Thanks to the PTO for providing staff with a delicious lunch on the first day of school.
*Thanks to the Lisowsky and Paye family for doing a landscaping clean up of flower beds around the front Hardy School sign prior to the start of the school year!
Have a great week!
Respectfully yours,
Grant Smith
Principal
