Dear Parents,

We are just about to kick off our Fall Family Fun Night from 5:30 - 7:30! I can't wait to see everyone for fun and fellowship.  The outpouring of coins and food for our service projects has been incredible this week.  I can't wait to see how much money we raised for ACO.  It is so humbling to see all of our students give. We appreciate your support.

As a reminder, we are not wearing Halloween costumes to school on Monday.  Students are welcome to wear Halloween shirts.  We hope that everyone has a happy and safe weekend.

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!

• Hi, Hart families! We have started to see some flu cases and strep is still going around. Please reinforce these everyday actions with your children to help prevent the spread of illness:
• Cover your nose and mouth when coughing or sneezing.
• Wash your hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use an alcohol-based hand rub.
• Avoid sharing drinks or food
•  Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Please do not send your child to school if he/she has:
• Flu-like symptoms (fever and/or chills, headache, muscle pain or body aches, feeling tired or weak, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, sneezing, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, vomiting, and diarrhea)
• A fever of 100.0 degrees or greater
• Vomiting or Diarrhea
• An infection that requires antibiotics (i.e. Strep throat, bronchitis, pink eye, etc.) unless they have been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours.
• If your child is sick and tests positive for anything, please send me an email to let me know. This helps me monitor our campus health.
• Kindergarten and new to Hart students will be having vision and hearing screenings on November 16th and 17th. Please make sure your child has his/her corrective lenses. 
• Thank you all for helping me keep Hart healthy!
