Mrs. Hardwick's Classroom Website

Welcome!

Welcome to Mrs. Hardwick's classroom website. This will be your go-to place to find all the information about your child's classroom. 

Announcements! 

  • As most of you know, I am pregnant with my first child. I am past the 37 week mark, which means that I could be going out for maternity leave any day now! I am so excited! With that being said, while I am out for maternity leave, I will not be keeping up with the class website, or the classroom Remind 101 app. There will be a highly qualified long term substitute taking care of things when I am outside of the classroom. However, she will not be taking over the website or the Remind 101 app., since both of these are extras that I provide to my students. She will have her own outlets to be contacted through, and that information will get to you all shortly. Going forward, the website is not going to be active as of 11/27/17. However, the Remind 101 app. will remain active until I am officially on leave. I ask that you remind your children to make sure that they are copying their homework at school and keeping up with their information.  I ask for understanding and patience as I prepare for the birth of my first child. Thank you all for your understanding!
