Notes from Ms. Taylor
Congratulations and thank you to our wonderful Hartley Volunteers
of the Year! Mrs. Clara Gardner (senior division), Mrs. Jan
Anderson(adult), and Miss Alyssa Moxon (youth) were nominated to
represent our school at the District’s Volunteer of the Year Banquet
last Thursday because of the countless hours of time and energy they
have given to assist students and staff at our school. Volunteer
Coordinator Annmarie Darcy was also recognized for her tireless
service to our school. Because of her, Hartley consistently earns the
Five Star School Award because of our strong volunteer and parent
involvement record. There is simply no way Hartley could be as
successful as we are without the contributions of all of our hard
working volunteers. Thanks to you all.
And now…..we need everyone’s support in helping us to reach two
of our important School Improvement Plan goals for this year. Last
year, over 150 students missed 10 days of school or more, and we
also logged over 100 who were tardy at least 10 times, and that was
alarming. Our goal was to reduce those numbers by at least 3% this
year. (Our hope is that we will actually reduce them by far more!).
With less than nine weeks left in the school year, we are doing
better, however we’ve begun to see our numbers creep back up
toward the “danger zone”. I cannot stress enough how critical it is
for students to be in class, on time, every day in order for them to
have every opportunity to be successful in class. Computer
generated letters will remind parents if their students have
accumulated five, ten or 15 unexcused absences. At fifteen, the
District Office files a report with the court system. Please help us
reduce these costly mail outs and help us reach our SIP goals by
insuring your child is in school on time every day. Thank you!

SUMMER MARINE SCIENCE PROGRAM
Parents,
Applications for the summer Marine Science Program
will be passed out at all schools during the week of
February 25th. Applications are due back to science
teachers by March 7th. Applications can also be
downloaded at any time from the website prior to
April 15th at http://www-grms.stjohns.k12.fl.us/ and

This summer program is available to all students in
grades five through seven and has been sponsored by
the school district since 1982. Three eight day
sessions are held at Menendez High School with bus
transportation provided. The dates for the three
sessions this summer will be June 10th through June
20th, June 24th, through July 11th, and July 15th through

The Marine Science Program is a carefully designed
experience for responsible students who are
interested in learning about our local marine
environments. Learning is “hands on” in the field
with students kayaking, canoeing, boating, hiking,
snorkeling, sailing, windsurfing, surfing, etc. Specific
grade level activities and curriculum are attached to
the applications and are also available from the
website.

ESE SURVEY
The Florida Department of Education is conducting a survey designed to provide the state with information on how well schools are supporting parents’ involvement in their child’s education. Under the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (IDEA), states must report this information to the federal government on an annual basis. All parents of children with disabilities and a current IEP (PK to 12th grade) are invited to participate in this survey. The survey is opened from February 1, 2013 to June 30, 2013.
