Staff Shout Outs!!!
Let's give it up for our awesome front office staff! They work diligently to keep things running smoothly. Mrs. Rita keeps us in compliance and helps us get all the things we need. Mrs. Medrano is busy managing our enrollment, but is always willing to pause and help out wherever she can. Nurse Paige is on the go with smile on her face as she's keeping students well and safe.We appreciate these awesome ladies!
Lara Paretti wanted to give a SUPER LOUD shout out to 2 ladies always BEHIND the scenes!
Brandy Allen and Erin Parker-Atkins!! They are amazing team members that do all the planning, preparation and execution for almost all events at Hartman.
I appreciate them and their creative ideas, hard work and can-do attitudes! I am so very blessed to work alongside these exceptional teachers! Thank you!
Have you noticed our telemonitor in the front office is up and running again? Well, it most certainly is because of the work of our FANTASTIC tech, Misty Calkin. Thank you, Misty, for making it your personal goal to get that monitor working again! It looks great! We appreciate you!!
Let's also give a big shout out to ALL of the Pre-K paras!!! They held things down while all six of our Pre-K teachers attended a training on Thursday! Six subs on Pre-K hall and not a peep.....let's give it up for our awesome paras!!! Thank you for all that you do everyday!
Oh where, oh where have Kara and Brandy gone?

Substitute Interruptions- From time to time we have parents serve as substitutes in our building. Please remember substitutes should not be pulled from giving attention to their classes unless there is an emergency. Please do not pull subs to talk about issues with their personal students or for any reason that would take their attention from the supervision of our students. Please look for opportunities on breaks or off periods if necessary. Thank you!
