A Note from the Principal's Desk

Greetings Hawthorne ES Parents/Guardians,

Thank you to all 5th and 2nd Grade parents who took the time to attend parent-teacher conferences today! Your involvement and partnership are invaluable in supporting your child’s growth and success. We appreciate your dedication to staying engaged in your child's academic journey and look forward to continuing this collaboration throughout the school year.

Parent/Teacher Conferences will continue thru October 10th. During conferences, we will be excited to share new data from our MAP Reading Fluency, MAP Growth, writing samples, as well as our iready assessments.

Thank you also to all the parent volunteers this week. We love having you in our building.

As we move forward to the 10th week of school, Benchmark assessment administration will continue for students in grades 1-5. Students will be assessed in Reading, Math, Science, and Social Studies.
