Hawk Families - As many of you know, Mrs. Lentz is moving to California with her family. Thankfully we were able to hire a great teacher to teach our students. Please welcome Ms. Leslie Stratton to our Hawthorne Family. 5th/6th grade parents, please watch for a welcome note and a "meet and greet" time with Ms. Stratton.

We will have our next House Meeting on Friday, October 8 from 1:00-1:45, please do what you can to make sure all of our HAWKS are here to meet with their HOUSE! We are better together! One of our catchphrases is: "The HOUSE we build together is the HOME we live in at HAWTHORNE!"

Our first QUEST is going to be for students to learn the names of AT LEAST 20 other students who are in THEIR HOUSE. HAWK FAMILIES - be asking your student - what house are you in?

This year we have quite a few students who are taking part in either BAND or ORCHESTRA and all of our students participate in MUSIC class once a week. Please remind and encourage your students that playing an instrument or singing takes PRACTICE! This is a great opportunity to talk to them about GOAL-SETTING and encourage them to do their best.

Hawks - we all need to WORK TOGETHER to help our students be here everyday! If students aren't here they are not learning AND they miss out on lots of fun times with their friends. This is an important life skill and habit that we all can help with.

Hawthorne Families -

The best, safest place to drop off students is in the Parent Drop Off Zone, just drive up the alley from Calkins and then exit by turning south onto Boulevard. We have a duty at the drop off and students can walk onto the blacktop to line up or across the blacktop to the cafeteria for breakfast. 1st and 2nd grade students walk across the blacktop and up the hill to line up at the top of the hill. The time before school IS NOT A RECESS. It's a time to head to your line area and "chat and chill" with friends, then we can all start the day in a calm, organized way.

PLEASE BE SURE YOU DO NOT DROP OFF in the BUS LANE -

we have 3 busses coming this year!

PLEASE SEE THE ATTACHED MAP for more directions.

D91 charges for both breakfast and lunch. If you think your family would qualify for or benefit from free or reduced rates, please contact our lunch cashier, Erica Catalan or go to the D91 child nutrition website.
