Hawes Highlights: Stay Informed!
This Week in Review
Hawes Elementary School is committed to all students succeeding in a rigorous core curriculum. We believe in the importance of a strong home and school connection to ensure that our students acquire the skills needed to be life-long learners. We believe in teamwork, collaboration and mutual respect. We embrace risk-taking, creativity and an openness to new ideas and technologies. We believe that a positive self-esteem and social responsibility are goals for all and that our students, through a love of learning, will be challenged to reach their highest potential! We believe in aiming for the remarkable!
2nd grade fundraiser for the San Diego Zoo trip and adoption program - Deadline extended! All orders must be turned in by Tuesday!
Beginning this week, our 2nd graders are fund raising for their annual animal adoption program and field trip to the San Diego Zoo. To do this, they are selling "mixed bags", now known as Boon Supply. Please look for the catalogs to come home and please consider supporting this long standing tradition and Hawes program that benefits the zoo and our students! Items can be purchased online or orders can be sent back to school.

Orders online can be completed at: Boon Supply

Our school code is: 93958

Attendance Goal is 98%
For the month of January, our school wide attendance rate was only 96.18% It is clear that cold season has hit Hawes! The following classes had the highest attendance rate at their grade level: K - Mrs. Steele; 1 - Mrs. Arsenault; 2 - Mrs. Zeutzius; 3 - Mrs. Cirac; 4 - Mrs. Borns; and 5 - Mrs. Africano. Congratulations to these classes and a huge high 5 to Mrs. Steele's class for having the highest attendance rate in the school. Thank you for making positive school attendance a priority!
