I have one student in 2nd grade and one will be in Kindergarten next year. We just attended the TK/K info night and I am continuously amazed by Hardy. Every experience I have had since transferring there this year, from a school down the street, has been positive. Completely different than a previous experience. You can feel the culture, everything is warm, organized, and student centered. Principal Aragon is one of the highlights for us. She is visible, clear, and deeply committed to kids. She spoke with both heart and strategy, and it was obvious she knows her students, supports her staff, and leads with high expectations and compassion. It is rare to see leadership that feels both strong and human, and it was the cherry on top of a wonderful year so far with our older student. We are so excited that we now get to call Hardy our home for both children.

My son has to hold his urinate everyday because he is not comfortable going to the restroom since he has witnessed some older kids vaping in there. It seems like they have had this problem for a long time and I wonder why it hasn't been resolved? There was one time that my son couldn't hold his urinate anymore and he tried to look for a restroom, but all of them were closed right after school. I am not sure if that's the way for this school to solve the problem about kids vaping by locking the boys restrooms after school? Also, it's so hard to get a hold of a counselor here. They don't respond back to emails or calls. This school is so unorganized. It's so frustrating.

I went to school here a couple years ago, when I told this girl I didn't like kpop she kicked me in the shins and cried but the pe teacher only punished me by sending me to the principals office for hurting somebody's feelings, keep in mind I only said "eh kpop".I forget what the teachers names are but two of the white male history teachers would say the nword, pretty sure one retired but idk about the other.
