Rainy Day Procedures

With more rain in the forecast for this week, dismissal ONLY changes if it is raining at the time of the bell. If it is NOT raining at dismissal, dismissal will remain the same. If it is raining, please remember the procedures for rainy day pick up:

TK pick up as normal.
All Kindergarten students are picked up by the K gate. This gate is open to parents to allow them to get their K student and then walk out the black gate on the playground to get their children in grades 1-3.
gr. 1- 3: Parents will enter through the gate at Hawes Park ONLY and will meet their child at the classroom. Once you pick up your child, please exit the campus as we have students still in class and must maintain a closed, safe campus.
gr. 4-5: Students will dismiss as usual. Parents do NOT need to pick up students in these grade levels at the classroom.
Parents will not be allowed to enter through the office nor the gate by the library.
All parents must exit the campus between the primary and upper grade dismissal time

Thank you for your help in ensuring that your child is picked up and that we maintain a safe, secure school.

Registration information for the 2025-2026 school year

We are now accepting registrations for the upcoming school year. This is for all new, incoming students. If you currently attend TK, your enrollment information will be sent to your home school in the spring and you do NOT need to re-register.

Information regarding TK and K can be found on the district website.

Please understand that your child will not be registered until ALL required documents are submitted and verified.

Independent Study Contracts

If your child is going to be absent from school due to vacation/or travel for four (4) or more days, please contact the school office to request an Independent Study Contract. Please understand that we need at least two weeks prior to the start date of the absence in order to prepare materials. Here are some key points to remember:

Independent Study Contracts are requested through Monica Jagiello (mjagiello@hbcsd.us) in the office at least two weeks prior to the absence.
By law, the maximum number of days for an independent study are 15 days for the entire school year.
In order to receive credit for the absence, ALL work must be completed and returned by the due date..
Incomplete independent study contracts result in unexcused absences, which could result in a referral to the Student Attendance and Review Board (SARB).
Please be respectful of our teachers and staff who spend a great deal of time putting these contracts together. If you are requesting an independent study contract, please show us the same courtesy by spending the time on helping your child complete and return the assigned work upon his/her return to school.

Absent? Please contact the office

We encourage you to plan your trips over the scheduled breaks we have in place. As well, please make plans for day trips to Disneyland and other places for the weekend. We all understand how difficult it is when we are absent from work and the same holds true for students.

If your child is truly sick, please keep them home to recover. Students must be fever, vomit and diarrhea free for 24 hours prior to returning to school.

If your child is absent from school, please report this absence by emailing: Hawesattendance@hbcsd.us or by calling the school office at: 714.963.8302 then press 1.
