Highlights from the Past Week<\/div>\n
On Monday, we had a special CAS (Creative Arts & Sciences) program for 3rd-5th grade which featured a planetarium that was set up in our gym. Students enjoyed learning about the solar system in this highly engaging space.\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Staffing News for Next Year<\/div>\n
Fourth grade teacher Avery Budnik will be teaching fifth grade next year (as there is an additional section being added). We\u2019ll be hiring a new fourth grade teacher. \u00a0<\/div>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n

Placement Information<\/div>\n
Across the district, we are beginning the placement process for the 2026-2027 school year. This applies to students currently in grades K-4. For incoming K families, we will share more information about placement at Kindergarten Orientation in early May, and provide an opportunity for families to share input for consideration at this time.<\/p>\n

As always, when doing class placement, 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Your child\u2019s 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.\u00a0<\/p>\n

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\u00a0cannot\u00a0consider:<\/p>\n
