Thursdays will be Early Dismissal every week!
TK - 12:10
K/3 - 1:26
4/5 - 1:35
Thank you for making a note of this and for planning to pick your child up on time.
Parking Lot Safety - Bus Ramp Effective 9/22/25 buses will be dropping off and picking up students at the bus ramp (in front of TK/K gate). Cars only will be in the valet line. We hope this will alleviate traffic and help the flow of traffic. PLEASE MONITOR YOUR CHILD/REN AND DO NOT PARK IN STAFF PARKING LOT. If you have a Handicap placard in your car, please come into the office for details.
Arrival time no earlier than 8:15 am! Please do not drop off your child early, as there is no supervision. Thank you!
TK Dismissal - Back gate Effective 9/22/25 TK students will be dismissed by their teachers at the back gate. This is a safer option for students to play, if parents like to chat after school.
E-Bikes/E-Scooters Please make sure your child always brings a helmet if they are riding their bike/scooter to school.
Absent? Please contact the office We encourage you to plan your trips over the scheduled breaks. Please make plans for day trips to Disneyland etc. for the weekend. We all understand how difficult it is when we are absent form work and the same holds true for students.
If your child is truly sick, please keep them home. 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 calling the school office at : 714.963.8302 then press 1.
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.
- 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 Review Board (SARB).
- Please be respectful of your teachers and staff who spend a great deal of time putting these contracts together.
