Harvey Green Families,

Welcome to the 2024-25 school year! I can't wait to welcome the students back to campus on Wednesday. I hope families had a wonderful summer. It was great to see the TK and Kindergarten students during their playdate last week.

Please join me in welcoming back Mrs. Silva and Ms. Su to our teaching staff. We are beyond excited to have them back at Harvey Green.

School will begin daily for TK and Kindergarten at 8:20am and 1st-5th grade at 8:30am. It is important that students attend school daily and on time. We will be offering free breakfast beginning at 8am in our MUR. Students will be supervised and all TK/K students will be walked to their classroom by staff. Please be sure to review the school calendar for dismissal times, as they have changed from last school year.

There are many events already happening this month. On Friday, August 16th at 8:40am, I will be hosting a coffee talk in our MUR. This is a time to get to know one another, network, learn about school procedures and answer any questions you may have. I hope you can stop by. We will also have our first fundraiser this Friday at Menchie's. Please be sure to present this flyer at the register. I hope many families can attend, as this is a great way to meet new friends and to visit with other families. Lastly, Back to School Night is on Tuesday, August 27th from 5-6pm.

Communication is critical to success. Harvey Green takes advantage of multiple ways to keep our families informed. There will be a monthly newsletter that will be sent to you through email and posted on the website. We will also send emails with important updates, PTA announcements, and upcoming events. As we begin the new school year please make sure to read through this newsletter and all other documents that are sent home. Many questions that you may have throughout the year can be found in the newsletters. The website is also a great source for information.

I am looking forward to a great year! As always, if there is anything your family needs assistance with, please reach out to me at tjohnson@fusdk12.net.

Sincerely,

Ms. Johnson

Please join us on Tuesday, August 27th for Back to School Night. This is a great opportunity to meet your student’s teacher, get information about what they will be learning throughout the year, class expectations, etc. Since this is an informational night, we recommend finding alternate arrangements for childcare.

As we embark on a new school year, the PTA invites you to show our teachers and staff how much we appreciate them. Join us in providing snacks and a nourishing start to their day with events on Thursday (8/22) and Friday (8/23). Sign up sheet HERE.

• Snack Drop-off: Thursday, 8/22, any time between 8:00 AM and 4:00 PM at the school office. Please bring individually wrapped snacks to ensure safety and convenience.
• Breakfast Drop-off: Friday, 8/23, from 8:00 AM to 8:30 AM at the school office.

Your contributions of snacks and breakfast items will help energize their day! Thank you for your generosity and support!

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.

Welcome back to the 2024-25 school year and for our new students/families, welcome to our wonderful Green community! I am your school counselor, Danna Ng, and I am so excited to begin another school year. Every year, I look forward to the start and definitely have first day jitters. If you or your child(ren) feel the same, you're not alone and those feelings are common. It may take a little while to get adjusted back to the school routine and that's okay! My job at school is to support all students. Here's a little more about me! If you have any questions, please feel free to reach me at dng@fusdk12.net or (510) 656-6438 ext. 41325.

Cheers to a great school year together,

Mrs. Ng
