*If your child has a chronic medical condition that may result in an emergency situation (Seizures, Anaphylactic Allergies, Type 1 Diabetes, Asthma, etc.), please inform your childās school and ensure you have an up to date medical plan on file prior to the start of the 2026/2027 school year. A new plan is required on a yearly basis or if any changes are made to the plan throughout the year.
Have a great summer and we look forward to seeing you next year!
Happy Memorial Day Weekend Hawkins,
What a huge swing in weather this week, from me sending out sunscreen policies to back in winter coats. The building is looking very festive with all of the hot air balloons, and I loved second grades poetry cafe. A lot will be happening these last few weeks, so please read your classroom newsletters carefully. One item I wanted to mention for planning is lunch on the last day of school. On the last day dismissal is at 12:50 which is a long time for some of our students to go without lunch. In the past we have had snacks available, but this year we will be providing one slice of pizza for each child to help them get through the morning. If you think your child will want more than that, please pack extras. I donāt know a time for the lunches yet, as having 80 pizzas delivered takes a little planning.
I wanted to thank all of the volunteers for their help with running club. This has been such a huge success and the students love it. This is that time when it is good to get a head start on taking unneeded items home from lockers. I want to take a moment to thank all who have served our country. Serving in the military is a tremendous act of patriotism, and the sacrifices they make for all of us allow us to enjoy the blessing we have. You are truly appreciated. On a personal note, I learned that my oldest daughter is pregnant and will be having a boy. Grandpa duties are waiting for me. Have a great weekend everyone and enjoy family.
Have a great weekend!
Mr. McAuliffe
Hawkins for 2026 Field Day volunteers. Click the link below to sign up https://tinyurl.com/2026HawkinsFieldDay
Please check in with your license at the front office to receive your badge and you will be directed straight to the field for your event station or to meet up with your class.
Mr. Richards has requested parents sign up for specific stations and we will have an AM and PM shift for each. We also need 1,200 water balloons for the event. You may bring them pre-filled or there is 1 spigot attached to the shed that you can use to fill on site.
Lunch + drinks will be provided by the Hawkins PTO for all volunteers.
**We are also in need of parent volunteers for each class as well (one AM, one PM) to travel with the class to each field day activity --> If you DO volunteer for this, please add to the comments section of your sign up whether or not you can bring a wagon to cart around the kid's water bottles throughout the day**
There are only 2 days left for runners to reach their goals. Runnersā mileage will be reset next year school year.
Hawkins now has 4 runners who have completed a full marathon, with a handful close to finishing it!!
The celebration party will be June 2nd during lunchtime. JK/K runners who have complete their first 2 mileage cards (10k) will be invited. 1st-4th grade runners who finished their 1/2 marathon or a full marathon will be invited. Parents are welcome to attend and volunteer to help serve the ice cream sundae bar. https://tinyurl.com/HawkinsRunClubVolunteers
Please visit the Hawkins Parents group on Facebook to see individual recognition of running accomplishments.
š š CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL THE RUNNERS!š š
Please make sure your child has an extra set of clothes in their backpack. Accidents happen while your child is at school (bathroom accidents, playground mishaps, lunchroom spills, ripped or torn clothes, etc.) and we do not have extra clothes to lend out. Having an extra set here at school saves parents from having to make a trip to Hawkins during the day. We appreciate your help!
