Dear Parents,
Happy Thursday! We have had an awesome short week of school. We are very excited to welcome our Grandparents next week for Grandparent's Day. This is simply an opportunity for us to honor our sweet Grandparents. Enjoy lunch together, take a picture, and say thank you. As a reminder, if the Grandparent would like to eat lunch, then they need to bring their lunch with them. Our guests will not be allowed to go through our cafeteria line. Thank you in advance for understanding. I would highly recommend that you plan ahead because we are expecting a large crowd, and we have to individually check each person in through our system. I am excited for us to create great memories for our students next week.
As a reminder, if you are utilizing park and pick up or our "walker" system, then you must park on Hart property. Therefore, you can park in our parking lot, or in the grass area off of Estelle and Spurgin Road along the fence line. Please do not parallel park in these areas, park vertically. We appreciate your support in respecting our neighbors' property.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns please let me know.
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!

Checking Your Student Out Before 3:00pm?
If you need to check out your student before the end of the day, please do so by 2:30pm. Anytime after that is difficult to get out of the parking lot. If you are checking out early, you do not need to put it in SDM. Thanks for your help with this!

Borrowed Clothing: Kids from all grade levels during the school year come to the clinic for a change of clothing for various reasons (falling in mud, bathroom accidents, etc.). We try to loan out clothes when possible. The clinic needs boys and girls clothing (tops, bottoms, unused underwear, and socks) in every elementary age.
- You may want to have your child keep a change of clothes in their backpack if they frequently need a change of clothes or are in grade levels Kindergarten through 1st grade. In order for us to help other children, please return any borrowed clothing (except underwear) after washing to the clinic.

Literati Book Fairs are designed to get kids excited about reading. From a fantastic selection of expert-curated books to beautiful, artistic displays, this fair will inspire all of our students to become lifelong readers
Students will use Book Fair Gift Cards to purchase all items this year. Digital gift cards are an easy payment method that won’t get lost in a backpack. Use any leftover amounts online or at our next Literati Book Fair in the Spring. They also make great gifts for teachers and librarians!
More information about purchasing gift cards, volunteering and teacher wish lists will be coming to you soon. Thank you, Mrs. Dawson, Hart Librarian
