Staffing Update
I am pleased to welcome Ms. Bridget Fleming as a new special education teacher/BCBA in our Skills program who will be supporting some of our K-1 students. Ms. Fleming is a Wellesley native who most recently served as a special education teacher in the Burlington Public Schools. She earned undergraduate and graduate degrees in special education from Simmons University and is a Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) as well. Please join me in welcoming Ms. Fleming to Hardy!
Grab & Go Breakfast for Students
Beginning on Tuesday, January 7, Wellesley Public Schools will offer boxed breakfast options daily to all students starting at 8:15 a.m.
Breakfast options are free and students do not need to sign up ahead of time. Each day will include one main breakfast item and one gluten-free option. Please see the January breakfast menu (it reads Bates, but it’s the same menu for all schools) from Whitsons (it can also be found on the Whitsons Meal Planner site).
Students should pick up their breakfasts in the cafeteria at arrival (between 8:15- 8:30 AM) and then they will bring the breakfasts to their classrooms to eat.
Reminder for Parents/Guardians of Students Performing in the Holiday Concert
This Friday at 8:45 AM we will have our annual holiday concert. This will be by our 5th grade chorus and our instrumental music students. Parents/guardians of student performers are invited to attend, so mark your calendars.
Have a great week and a great upcoming winter vacation!
Respectfully yours,
Grant Smith
Principal
