Principal's Message
Spring is here and the students and staff are getting excited for our upcoming break. Please remember this Thursday we will have an early dismissal day. I hope that your family will be able to spend some time together during Spring Break doing some fun family activities. Each student will also be receiving one at home COVID-19 antigen test kit. These kits will be distributed in class on or by April 14th.
A huge thank you to our Student Council and all Green families for helping to raise money for our new marquee. We should be able to purchase the new marquee soon and will continue to raise money to help with the installation cost. A special thank you to Samanyu S. for helping to secure a few BIG donations! We are working on setting up a few more fundraisers to help with the installation cost.
I also would like to thank the Kubiak Family and Home Depot for the donation to the Kinder Garden. The TK and Kinder students and teachers have begun to spruce up the garden and it is looking great!
Thank you again for your support. If there is anything we can do to help support your child(ren) or family, please feel free to reach out at any time.
Thank you,
Ms. Johnson

Counselor's Corner
Hello Harvey Green families,
Happy Spring! The days are getting warmer, enjoy some sun with your family! This month, I am visiting classrooms to talk about "Organization." Getting organized is an executive functioning skill that is important for day-to-day activities as well as long-term planning. We want our students to feel confident in tackling big or small tasks because they're equipped with skills that set them up for success. Having things organized in their backpacks, desks, or keeping a planner/lists of things to get done helps with efficiency while also encouraging responsibility. Imagine your child having everything tidy, ready-to-go, and gets things done without you having to remind them many times before they do it. That would be our goal! Check out this article for ideas to practice organization at home. I know, even as an adult, I'm always working on improving my own organization skills. Let's get organized together!
Thanks for tuning in,
Ms. Huang
Kinder Garden
Spring is in the air and that means big changes in the Kinder Garden. Thanks to Home Depot, Harvey Green was the recipient of a very generous donation which will help spruce up the garden. We received a plethora of plants and seeds along with enough fresh soil to fill all of our garden boxes and planters! We are so grateful for Home Depot and their kind generosity. If visiting and exploring the garden, please do so with respect and remember to not pick the plants/flowers and do not move or take the painted rocks on our "Path of Positivity." We are so fortunate to have this space and look forward to creating a colorful learning space for all to enjoy!

Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality Education (CHPSE)- 4th and 5th Grade
The Fremont Unified School District Board of Education and our school faculty believe it is important for students to assume responsibility for their own health and well-being. They benefit from instruction that fosters the development of positive health behaviors and the prevention of negative unhealthy behaviors. FUSD’s Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality Education (CHPSE) curriculum focuses on information that is essential for students’ well-being. This course of study conforms strictly to the guidelines provided by the California State Education Code 51933 and the California Healthy Youth Act.
These lessons will be taught by Harvey Green teachers. 4th grade lessons will be taught May 31 to June 3. 5th grade lessons will be taught May 16 to 27.
State law allows you to remove your student from part or all of the Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality lessons. Students opting out of lessons will be provided an alternate curriculum under the supervision of a credentialed teacher. If you do not want your student to participate in all or part of the Comprehensive Health, Puberty, and Sexuality education program, you must provide, in writing (email or on paper), a note to your student’s teacher.
Links to the curriculum, opt-out information, and parent resources, can be found at: https://www.fremont.k12.ca.us/HealthResources.
Placement Requests
In regards to transitional kindergarten/kindergarten requests for AM sessions we will only accept requests that have to do with severe hardships. Roughly 90% of families would prefer the AM session and it is impossible to fulfill all these requests. Ms. Johnson will not take any requests that are related to work or child care as that is a common challenge for most families. If you do have a rare severe hardship or emergency you may submit a brief note to tjohnson@fusdk12.net before May 13, 2022. If you are one of the few families that prefer PM please be sure to submit a note to tjohnson@fusdk12.net so we can free up as many AM spots.

There are many questions around COVID 19 and safety measures. Use this district link to find lots of helpful information. COVID Safety Measures
