Harvey Green Bell Schedule 2024-2025

Harvey Green Families,

October is here and we are officially halfway through the first trimester! Students are working

diligently and making progress in the standards. Teachers are looking forward to meeting with you next week for Parent-Teacher Conferences. Please contact your teacher if you have any questions or if you still need to sign up.

Our Fun Run will be on Friday, November 1st! The money raised from this event will go directly to your child's classroom. This year, we have a shirt available for you to purchase if you would like to wear on the event day. You can purchase one here for your child(ren) or entire family! Be sure to purchase by Oct. 7th, so shirts can be printed and delivered to the school.

Later this month we will have Walk and Roll to School, Unity Day, the 50th Day of School and Red Ribbon Week! So many exciting things happening at Harvey Green!

If there is anything your family needs assistance with, please reach out to me at tjohnson@fusdk12.net.

Sincerely,

Ms. Johnson

Hello Harvey Green families,

I am currently out on maternity leave. If you have any questions, please contact our main office staff at (510) 656-6438. For now, feel free to check out the FUSD Resource guide or FUSD Family Resources for resources. If it is an emergency, please dial 911 or call the Alameda County Crisis Support Services Crisis Line at 1(800) 309-2131 or text "SAFE" to 20121.

I can't wait to be back with our Green community soon! Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Warm regards,

Mrs. Ng

Is your child missing a water bottle, jacket, or sweater? Please stop by the lost and found rack by the office to look. We will be donating unclaimed items on October 11.

A one-day event held the third Wednesday of October to come together in one giant, orange message of hope and support. It’s a day to wear and share orange to visibly show that our society believes no child should ever experience bullying.

This is a week to focus on the importance of living a healthy lifestyle. This year’s theme is Life is a Movie. Film Drug Free! We encourage students to participate in our Red Ribbon Spirit Days!

Students may wear their Halloween costumes to school on Thursday, October 31st. As always, the attire should not restrict movement or interfere with their ability to learn or use the restroom. No weapons, blood, masks or offensive costumes will be allowed.

We are excited to host our annual classroom fundraising event the Fun Run on Friday, November 1st. Sponsor sheets will be sent home soon, so students can begin to fundraise. All money collected for this fundraiser goes directly to classroom. If you would like to purchase a Fun Run shirt to wear the day of the event you can purchase one here. The last day to order is Oct. 7th.

It is imperative that your student attends school daily. Lost classroom time is difficult to replace. However, if you find that you need an extended absence during the school year you will need to request an Independent Study Contract. The contract prevents your child from falling behind and gives him or her attendance credit. If work is not received by the scheduled deadline, the contract will be considered incomplete and voided. The student will not receive attendance credit. Below are the guidelines and policy for requesting an Independent Study Contract.

1. Parent must notify the school at least 10 school days prior to the absence.

2. Students whose achievement level is below grade level standards may not be eligible.

3. Students who have had an ISC in the past and did not successfully complete it, are not eligible for a new contract.

4. Contracts will not be issued on the first 20 days, or the last 20 days of school.

5. Contracts are issued for a minimum of 5 school days and a maximum of 10 days.

6. A student can only have 3 Independent Study Contracts in their K-12 career in FUSD.

7. Contracts may not be faxed or emailed.

8. Students with an IEP must have an addendum to their IEP before the contract will be approved

Contracts must be approved by the teacher and the principal.

Please contact Ms. Veronica Luna for more information in the school office or by email: vluna@fusdk12.net

Fremont Unified School District (FUSD) provides support for gifted and talented (GATE) students through differentiated instruction. We believe that differentiated instruction not only serves the needs of our exceptional students, but also enhances the entire educational program for all students.

During the 2024/2025 school year we will continue to identify 5th grade students who were not identified in an earlier grade. These students may be considered for GATE identification through the professional judgement process. Teachers and/or parents may nominate a student. A completed nomination form must be submitted by the teacher or parent to the school Principal by December 16, 2024. Principals will set up meetings with the teacher, student, and parent to discuss the student’s eligibility for GATE identification.

For more information, please see the FUSD GATE website.

If your child needs medication at school please use this link to get all necessary form. Health Forms

These forms will need to be completed and signed by the doctor. Do not send your child to school with medication in their backpack, this is unsafe for them and all other students.

Per Board Policy any parent/guardian of a student enrolled in the District shall notify the District prior to or within five (5) days of any change in circumstance and/or a move which would affect their student’s residency (AR 5111.1).

Please complete and email the Change of Address Form with 2 proofs of new address residency to your current school.

ALL Green students will have access to free meals here at school. Students will be asked every morning if they are going to get a school lunch so we can order the correct amount

of food. Please communicate with your child if you would like them to get a school meal and if they are choosing the meat or vegetarian option.

Breakfast will be served daily in the MUR for any interested students at 8:00am. Parents/guardians are not allowed in the MUR. Students will be supervised while they eat and will be either released to recess when finished or if they are TK/K they will be walked to class.

For menus and more information please use this link.
