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!

A year ago this week, we were packing the office, MacLab, workroom, activity room and 9 portables - all 5th grade, the library, PC lab and more. As I reflect back to that time and the craziness that consumed us, it is hard to believe that we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel of Measure Q. A year ago, I asked for your patience and understanding as we closed the office early and jumped feet first into a year of construction. As we sprint towards the end, I am blown away by the transformation, the flexibility and perseverance of the Hawes staff and grateful for all of the support of the Hawes community. Being the first school to walk through the fire of this construction project, there was a lot to learn and I can say, without a shadow of a doubt, that Team Hawes rocked it! Thank you for making this year amazing, even with construction, and thank you for understanding some of our limitations because of construction! Congratulations to all! It is with great pleasure that we can shout "Tag! You are it, Moffett Mustangs! We are here to help you!." Thank you to all for making this an incredible year! Journeying through construction would not have been the same without your support!
We hope that everyone has an amazing summer and we look forward to seeing you in September!

Send money or food! Borrowing for lunch as ended!
|
As of May 31, we have stopped loaning money to those who do not have enough to purchase a lunch. If your child goes through the lunch line and does not have sufficient funds, s/he is sent to the office and attempts are made to contact a parent. When no one is available to bring money, lunch OR go online to add money to the lunch account, a student is given sufficient snacks from the office! Please help us by making sure your child brings money or lunch to school each day!
