Free and Reduced Applications: New applications must be submitted by October 1st. Those who qualified last year need to reapply to ensure our school continues receiving vital funds that benefit all students at Hazel Harvey.
Important Transportation Update for 2025-2026 School Year
Beginning next school year (2025-2026), students will have a consistent, one-way transportation arrangement home from school to ensure their safety and simplify tracking. Families will need to select one primary transportation method for their child: riding the bus home, being picked up in the car loop, or walking home.
Please note that CHIPP Early Release Fridays will remain an exception to this policy. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we work to create a safe and efficient dismissal process for all students!
Don't Forget to Dress for the Weather
As we are getting into the cold months, please make sure your child is dressed appropriately. We are going to assume that the coat your child is wearing to school is the one they will wear to recess. We play outside as long as the temperature is above 20 degrees (including wind chill). If your child is in need of a coat, gloves and/or hat, please reach out to the office.
