Dear Hart Families,

Can you believe that we only have 6 wake-ups left until we conclude the '21-'22 school year?  Man, time flies when you are having fun!  We had the privilege of honoring our Seniors this week.  I loved seeing them all reconnect and reminisce about their time at Hart Elementary.  I loved hearing soming of their favorite memories that we still have in place today like sitting in the bathtub in the Hart Library, Field Day, Hart Beat, and many more.  We are definitely building a great legacy.

As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out to me. I hope that you have a fantastic weekend.

All My Best,

Wendy Craft

My mission is to be a servant leader who works with students, parents, and staff to build a community that fosters relationships and learning where everyone THRIVES. Each day, I strive to make the choice to be great versus comfortable, because you can't be both!

PowerSchool Log In: Check Your Password

Please take a minute to log in to PowerSchool to ensure the accuracy of your password. Over the summer, the district will push out information that will require you to access PowerSchool such as state testing results, transportation registration for 2022-2023, etc. If you need to have your password reset, please contact your child's campus registrar.

Super Skills Day (Field Day): Tuesday, May 24th

Super Skills Day is an event where all students have the opportunity to show off their athletic skills. This year’s event is slated for Tuesday, May 24, 2022. The primary students (K-2nd) participate from

8:45am - 11:20am and the intermediate (3rd and 4th) from 12:15pm - 2:45pm. We encourage ALL students to wear their grade-level T-shirt on this day.

Students will progress through a variety of skills events, rotating every 15 minutes to the next station. We will allow 5 minutes to progress to the next station for refilling water bottles. Some of the events include Bowling, Kickback, Scarf Grab, water events, and a few traditional events like 3 Legged Race and Sack Race.

Coach Nicholson and Coach Blom ask that students come properly attired in shorts or sweatpants with running shoes. See information below regarding “Appropriate Swimwear” for the water events. Make sure your child/children bring a water bottle that can be refilled several times and labeled with his/her name. Also, please send a change of clothes to change into after the completion of Super Skills Day. It is a good idea to bring a backpack to carry these items in. And, don't forget the sunscreen! This day will be a sack lunch day.

Parents are invited to join in the activities as enthusiastic spectators. We will use high school seniors this year to help supervise the stations and escort individual classes to the different areas. Events will take place on the playground, in the gym, and in the cafeteria.

Thank you,

Coach Nicholson and Coach Blom
