Hello and welcome to the 2020-2021 school year! My name is Jon Hardman and I will be your son or daughter’s American History, Psychology, or Sociology teacher.  I am a native of Tallmadge, Ohio and received my undergraduate degree from the University of Akron and my graduate’s degree from Gardner Webb University. This is my 13^th year teaching. It is my third year at Tri-Valley, with my previous ten years teaching in western North Carolina. I am excited to be part of the Tri-Valley family and such a talented and caring staff, committed to student excellence.

          Since you are such a big part of your child’s education, I am asking that each student go over the syllabus with you. I also ask that you and your child sign the syllabus (see below) as part of your child’s first grade of the year. By doing this, you will know what is expected of your child and what will be going on throughout the year.

          If you have any further questions or concerns, please feel free to contact me at the school, at 754-2921, or by email at:

jhardman@tvschools.org.

          If you give me your email address, I can send periodic notices about tests, assignments, and other class information upon request. This will be a great way to keep in close contact with what is happening in the classroom. We will also be using the Google Classroom, so you can always check on what is happening in class.

          I am looking forward to teaching your child and to meeting all of you as well. We are going to have a great year!
