Welcome to the Hardisty Website!
As a staff, we are committed to serving our students and their families to the best of our abilities. Our goal is to create a community where:
- we see everyone as a learner - children and adults alike
- we face challenges by working to support our students and engage them in building the skills they need to succeed
- we engage in clear and consistent communication with home, not only to inform, but also to seek input into how we can best meet the needs of our students
- we are committed to continuous improvement in order to provide the highest quality education to our students and most effective services to our families
3 R’s
At Hardisty, our 3R’s - Respect, Responsibility, Relationships are front and center in our minds and hearts. You will see this commitment, not only in the halls on posters, but in our daily work. It is not simply an expectation for students but it serves as a basis for our decision making and how we interact as a school community. Students, staff and parents are encouraged to show respect regardless of the actions of others, take responsibility for the learning and actions and to work to build relationships that create a positive, supportive and caring learning environment for all.
Programming
We are home to 5 Division Programs that support the communities we serve. There are two K - 9 programs:
