The Details for the Week:

Here are some of the key events and things to know:

Memorial Day Holiday: There is no school on Monday! Enjoy the day off!

State Testing for Students in grades 3-5: This week we are focused on completing all of the state testing for students who were absent and missed some of the tests.

Open House on Thursday: Please join us for Open House on Thursday. The schedule is as follows:
  • TK from 5 - 6 pm
  • PTSA presentation at 5:50 in the lunch area
  • Kindergarten - Grade 5: 6 pm -7 pm
  • We hope that you are able to join us, to check out your child's work for the year as well as visit classrooms to see what is in store for learning in the coming year.
  • We ask that YOU supervise your child at all times during this event as we do NOT have supervision on the playground.
  • The Hawes park gate, kindy gate and the gate by the library will be open for access.

Open House Snake: On Friday morning, our students will parade through the classrooms to see the amazing work of all of our students.

School Library: This will be the last week that our students visit the library this school year. Our library will close on Friday in order to check in and account for all of our library books. Please be sure to return any books that are checked out.

May MegaSkills Family Activity Challenge: will be sent home this week and is due on Friday, May 30 for students to earn a brag tag! This will be the last challenge for the year.

Good-bye! Farewell!

At the end of each school year, we take a moment to recognize the families that are soaring away from Hawes and moving on to the Middle School. Many of these families have dedicated their time, energy and enthusiasm to our community and have made a difference in our lives. We would like to thank them for their service and we wish them well as they move on to the next chapter in their lives.

Thank you and good-bye to the following 5th grade families:

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.



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

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.
