Dear Hawes Families,

Thank you to those who attended Beach Day. A special shoutout to our amazing PTSA for sponsoring the first Hawes Beach Day.

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.

Our Open House is this Thursday. 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. Please take some time to visit the activity room and enjoy the PTSA reflections art exhibit. We are so proud of our Hawks' creativity and look forward to students participating in next year's program. The used book fair will be open in P31 for one last chance to purchase some books for your child's summer reading. Thank you to PTSA for making this a successful first ever event at Hawes.

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, kinder gate and the gate by the library will be open for access. Please do not allow older siblings with e-bikes to enter the campus. Thank you.

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

Talent Show Music due: The submission deadline for digital music is Wednesday, May 20th. For questions, please email hawestalentshow@gmail.com

We encourage families to continue checking ParentSquare regularly for important reminders, updates, and event information throughout the month. We have included the end-of-year calendar with many events that are going on. Thank you for reviewing it and coming to support your child's participation when you can. We value your partnership and are truly better when we work together.

In Partnership Always,

Dr. Fran Hansell

Thank you for making a note of this and for planning to pick your child up on time.

Arrival time no earlier than 8:15 am! Please do not drop off your child early, as there is no supervision. Thank you!

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 from work and the same holds true for students.

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. THANK YOU for doing all you can to bring your child to school every day and to minimize the amount of time they are absent due to vacations etc. We appreciate you taking trips during non-student days whenever possible.

Independent Study Contracts: Last day to complete an ISC is May 29! 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:

State Testing Makeups: are this week for students in grades 3-5. Testing schedules start at the beginning of the day and continue through to morning recess. Please make sure your child arrives on time and is ready to focus.

5th Grade Promotion: 6/16 @ 10am. More details to follow.

Inclement Weather Dismissal: All gates will be opened (back gate, TK/K gate, and front library gate). Students are picked up from the classrooms. ONLY ESN 3-5 class may enter through the front office due to mobility issues of some students and being an interior classroom. These parents may park in the valet line and enter through the office. NO OTHER PARENTS ARE ALLOWED TO WALK THROUGH OFFICE TO PICK UP SIBLINGS, RATHER THEY WALK OUTSIDE TO PICK UP THROUGH THE GATES. (If a child is in K and there are older siblings to be picked up, please exit to the front of school and walk through the library gate, not through the front office.) This will be added to the Handbook. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
