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!
HBCSD Annual Survey: Window closes Friday!
In order to learn more about student and family experiences in HBCSD, we will be asking for your feedback via a paper survey that will come home with your student in the next few weeks. Based on parent feedback the survey has been shortened to take even less time to complete! Your feedback will be an invaluable source of information for us as we work to make our schools and district as good as they can be. (Online option will be available.) We thank you in advance for your thoughtful responses.

Valet Change for Monday, March 25 ONLY!
On Monday, March 25, our morning valet will LOOK and BE different. Valet drop off will happen in front of the 5th grade portables - not the school office - due to the loading of the buses for our 5th grade trip to outdoor science school.
  • Enter the valet line using the normal entrance.
  • Drop off in front of the portables and exit the parking lot by the library.
  • Please plan ahead as we will have many buses in our parking lot and 100+ students and their teachers loading luggage!

This change is for ONE morning only - Monday, March 25 ! Thank you for planning ahead now!

Kudos! #Teamworkmakesthedreamwork
S pecial thanks to the many who gave time and energy to get us ready for the start of school:

  • to Danae LaTrobe for her help in spreading awareness of the traffic rules and fines around the school!
  • Brynn Noble, Theresa Foxcomins, Elisa Budman, Lisa Duncan and Jen Vertican for their help with rainy day lunch supervision.
Be considerate to our neighbors!
When you are driving and parking around the school, please observe traffic rules and please be considerate to our neighbors. Please follow these guidelines:

  • Please don't block driveways and parking lot entrances.
  • Please don't double/triple park.
  • Slow down and drive carefully around the corner, intersections and the crosswalk.
  • Please don't leave your car unattended in the red zone in front of the school.

We appreciate your consideration and our neighbors will appreciate getting out of their driveways during drop off and pick up. Taking a moment to be safe and considerate is much better than someone getting hurt or getting a ticket! Thank you!

If you live outside the HBCSD school district boundaries, you must renew your inter-district transfer each year. As you apply for this transfer, please remember that you are agreeing to your child maintaining good attendance, citizenship and grades. We will start accepting transfers for the 2019-2020 school year after February 12.

Forms are obtained at your home school district and must be approved by that district first. Once approved, you can submit the form to our school office.
