A Note from Kathy

by Kathy Foster
August 25, 2011

Hart Families and Friends,


The first week of school has been a huge success.  Our building is full of smiling faces, new friends, high fives, laughter and students ready and eager to learn. Just as it should be! If your house is anything like mine, each day it seems to be a little harder for the kiddos to wake up early. Making the transition from summer to a regular school routine is not easy, but we appreciate all of your help in getting the kiddos to school on time.


Tomorrow we will host our first Hart Beat of the year and you are all invited to attend! We will not be recognizing Leopards of the Week this time, but we have lots of fun in store for the students. Our Hart PTA Spirit Shop will be open during Hart Beat, so be sure to stop by and stock up on spirit wear for the new school year.


Thank you for your continued partnership in making Hart such a special place for our students!

Kathy :)

 Upcoming Events and Hart Announcements

 

Heat Concerns:

With the weather continuing to be so hot and dangerous to some, LISD has implemented special weather restrictions to keep our students safe.  The guidelines are as follows:  If the temperature is 95 degrees or greater, or if there is a heat alert, or an ozone alert in red or orange, we will not have recess or PE outside.  The recess times obviously are different for each grade so there may be some opportunities for the earlier recesses to be outside for a shortened amount of time (10 minutes).


Hart elementary will follow the Lucas Fire Department's daily temperatures and WFAA for local alters.  You can log on to WFAA.com to have updates for yourself.


Please be sure to keep your kids hydrated.  Pack a water bottle in their backpacks everyday and remind them to get plenty of fluids.


Our number one priority is to keep the kids safe.  We all are hoping for cooler weather so that they can have their time to be outside and play.  Thank you all so much for your understanding and support!
