About Principal Deiss
Dear Families and Friends,
Welcome to Hardwick Elementary School, where learning goes beyond the classroom and every child is known, valued, and supported. This year, I would like to recognize and welcome the families and students who have chosen to join us from Lakeview Elementary. I personally know that change is difficult and know that a warm welcome and sense of belonging go a long way. So to that end, we welcome you!
As an elementary school, we understand that these early years are foundational, not only for academic success, but also for developing the social and emotional skills children need to thrive in life. That’s why, alongside strong instruction in reading, writing, math, and science, we place a deep emphasis on social-emotional learning (SEL). We use Restorative Practices to help our students build confidence, resilience, and respect for others. We understand that these skills will make a world of difference in years to come.
Our staff is passionate about creating a nurturing, inclusive environment where students feel safe, connected, and excited to learn. We believe that learning best happens when children feel emotionally supported and engaged. Whether it's through morning meetings, collaborative projects, or opportunities to express feelings, we make every effort to teach your child how to navigate all that life has to offer.
We value strong partnerships with families and know that when we work together, our children flourish. I encourage you to stay connected through school events, our website, and regular communication with teachers and staff.
Thank you for being part of our caring school community. We look forward to another wonderful year of growth, discovery, and connection.
Thank you, William Deiss
