Harvey Green Bell Schedule 2024-2025

Harvey Green Families,

Thank you to the Harvey Green PTA for another fabulous Fall Festival! October was a busy month on our campus, where students learned a lot and had a lot of fun! On November 8th, our first trimester is coming to an end. Report cards will be available to parents on Illuminate on November 22nd. I am proud of the growth that I am seeing as I visit classrooms and review report cards.

Please remember when planning trips to look over the school calendar. Students should attend school daily, unless they are ill. If you need to plan an extended trip, please see the information below regarding Independent Study and contact Ms. Veronica before scheduling your trip to ensure your child's spot 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,

My name is Scott Ferris and I am the substitute counselor filling in while Mrs. Ng is out. A Bay Area native, I attended elementary, middle, and high school in Santa Clara Unified before earning my BA in English, Preparation for Teaching (Single Subject). I taught high school English to freshmen, sophomores, and seniors for a few years before changing career paths, but I could not deny how much I enjoyed working with and supporting students. I felt that transitioning to the role of school counselor would be both a good use of my skills and a rewarding, fulfilling career, so I went back to school and earned my master's in Educational Counseling.

I am grateful for the opportunity to work in FUSD and help support its communities, and I look forward to serving as the school counselor at Harvey Green until Mrs. Ng returns. Please reach out with any questions or concerns you might have, and I look forward to meeting and working with you!

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 items on Wednesday, November 13th.

Thank you to all who attended and volunteered at the Fun Run! The students had fun running to raise money for their classrooms. Please turn in donations to classroom teachers, office or online by November 21st. If you would like to make an online donation you can do so here. Please be sure to include the student name and room number.

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

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.

Thank You for Making the PTA Fall Festival a Success!

The Fall Festival was a huge success, raising around $4,000 thanks to the incredible support from our community and generous sponsors! Special thanks to DJ Chris Chiucco, Laya Natyalaya Dance School, Rise Martial Arts, and all the families who contributed candy for trick-or-treating. We’re also very grateful to the high school, parent, and staff volunteers who made this event possible, and to Adrian Tang and Peter Fang for capturing such amazing photos of the day.
