Principal’s Message
The HES Community wishes Maintenance Manager Bill Vaughn a Happy Retirement! Bill Vaughn, who has served as Hartley’s Maintenance Manager for the past 13 years, has announced that he will be retiring at the beginning of January, 2019. Mr. Vaughn is well-loved by all who know him as a friendly, hardworking professional who has always placed children, teachers and the safety and cleanliness of the school as his top priorities. We are grateful for the countless contributions Bill has made to the life of Hartley Elementary School and all of us wish him a very happy and healthy retirement.
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Tyson Shank as Hartley’s new Maintenance Manager. Mr. Shank comes to us from Palm Valley Academy and Ocean Palms Elementary Schools, where he served as maintenance manager under principal Jessica Richardson. Last year, Tyson earned Ocean Palms’ School-Related Employee of the Year award, a distinction that is given for outstanding contributions to the school community. We look forward to a long and successful relationship with Mr. Shank.
Fifth Grader Jake Hudson is this year’s Top Speller! Hartley’s 2018 Spelling Bee competition will be remembered as one of the most exciting and close contests in school history. Congratulations to Jake and all of the 15 fifth-grade contestants who competed in this year’s Bee.
Go Hawks!
