Dear Hardy Families,

What an AMAZING First Day Back, Owls!

And just like that, we’re all systems GO! Our 2025–2026 school year is off to such a joyful start. From TK Flight School to our smiling Hardy Owls filling the campus, the energy was incredible. Over 100 families joined Coffee with the Principal, and our campus was buzzing with excitement and connection. Thank you for your patience, positivity, and school spirit — you made the first day one to remember! Here’s to a fantastic year ahead.

Thank you to those who attended Story Night — I apologize for the last-minute change and appreciate your flexibility! Who knew Instagram now requires 1,000 followers to go live? I’m now determined to get us to that number so we can read together there again soon!

Friendly Reminders
• Hardy no longer offers a joint-use field, including all playgrounds, after school. Our campus is now an active construction site. For everyone’s safety, all gates will be locked promptly after the last pick-up.

We’re so glad your family has chosen Hardy. It’s going to be a great year!

With Gratitude,
Mrs. Aragon
Principal, Hardy Elementary

Traffic Patterns
Please remember: Use the left lane if you plan to park, and the right lane if you are entering the carline. This helps keep traffic flowing safely and smoothly.

We’re a DOJO School!

Yay — one platform for everyone! This change came directly from your feedback that too many platforms meant important information was getting lost. Our teachers have adjusted from their personal favorites to make things simpler and more consistent for families.

While I’m listed as a “co-teacher” on each teacher’s Dojo, please know this is not the best way to reach me directly. For any administrative needs, please continue to contact the front office so we can support you promptly.

PowerSchool Parent Portal Access

PowerSchool Parent Portal letters have been sent home only for students who are not currently linked to an existing parent account.

If you did not receive a letter, that means you already have a Parent Portal account connected to your student(s).

If you think you do not have an account, but also didn’t get a letter:

First, try logging in at http://powerschool.sandi.net/public/ or reset your password.
If that still doesn’t work, email mcurtin@sandi.net and we’ll help you get set up.
