Hardy Happenings
March 10, 2025
Dear Hardy Families,
What an amazing Literacy Week we had! From mystery readers to spirit days, it was wonderful to see our students immersed in the joy of reading. But the love for reading doesn’t stop here!
Our school-wide Reading Challenge continues as part of our Leader in Me - Wildly Important Goal (WIG). If every student reads 20 minutes a day through Spring Break, we’ll reach 105,000 minutes and celebrate with a Glow Stick Dance Party before break! Keep encouraging your child to read and log their minutes!
This Friday is World Down Syndrome Day! Show your support by wearing crazy socks to celebrate inclusion and acceptance!
Also, this Friday: Dad's Club Movie Night at 6:30!
Enrollment is now open for all grades for the 2025-26 school year! I know you have a choice in where to send your child, and I’m so grateful you chose Hardy. Thank you for sharing your children with us!
Have a great week, Owls!
With Gratitude,
Mrs. Aragon
NEW FALL PRIMETIME 25-26 APPLICATION PROCESS!
We are pleased to share that Hardy will continue offering free before- and after-school care through the PrimeTime program. This program provides care starting at 6:15 AM before school and until 6:00 PM after school at no cost to families.
Priority Enrollment Criteria
Under the California Department of Education's Expanded Learning Opportunities Program (ELOP) grant, students in grades TK-6 who meet at least one of the following criteria will receive priority consideration for enrollment:
- Homeless or foster youth (highest priority)
- Low-income families (eligible for free/reduced meals under LCFF)
- English Learners
If your student does not meet any of the above criteria, enrollment will be first come, first served based on submission date and time, depending on available program space.
Application Information
All families must reapply each year, so if your child is currently enrolled in PrimeTime and you will need care again next year, you must submit a new application.
Application Window:
🗓 Opens Monday, April 14, 2025, at 8:00 AM
🗓 Closes Friday, May 2, 2025, at 9:59 PM
If you anticipate needing after-school care at any point during the 2025-26 school year, we strongly encourage you to apply during the initial application window.
Families who do not get into PrimeTime will have the opportunity to enroll in Klassic Kids, our paid after-school care provider.
For more details, please visit the PrimeTime website.
