PTSA Meeting on Thursday 5/28/26 at 8:30 am (please note the earlier start time). Please join us for our last PTSA meeting of the year.

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

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:

Bassett, Becking, Beljajev, Blankenship, Brammer, Bui, Cardoza, Croson, Day, Elliott, Fairman, Hardin, Harris, Hildebrant, Irby, Isaacs, Jusionis, Kreig, Lowman, Lux, Maier, Martens, McClendon, Momoi, Morris, Nguyen, Nguyen, Ouye, Ozonus, Patten, Pham, Phan, Popovici, Rodriguez, Scovel-McNelis, Selna, Soemantoro, Spagnoli, Stoner, Sullivan, Szymanski, Tran, and Wu.

We will miss you!

Birthday Marquee Messages for Next School Year!

https://hawesptsa.myshopify.com/collections/marquee-birthday-messages

You can now purchase BIRTHDAY and HALF-BIRTHDAY marquee messages for the 2026-2027 upcoming school year. Please read all the following details carefully to avoid unmet birthday announcement expectations! Please note that all messages must be purchased in advance according to the following deadlines:

If your child has a birthday in September 2026, you must purchase the birthday and/or half-birthday marquee orders BEFORE school is out on June 17th, 2026!

If your child has a birthday in October 2026, you must purchase the birthday and/or half-birthday no later than Friday, September 25th, 2026 after we return to school.

If your child has a birthday November 2026-June 2027, you must purchase the birthday or half-birthday marquee orders no later than Friday, October 16th, 2026 after we return to school.

How Birthday Postings Work!

Birthday messages are displayed for ONE WEEK. The marquee goes live on the Friday evening before your child's birthday week and remains visible for the entire week.

Special Note for Birthdays during School Breaks:

If a birthday falls during a week when school is closed (e.g. Winter Break/Spring Break), the message will be posted the week before break begins.

In Partnership Always,

Dr. Fran Hansell

Information and Details

Thursdays will be Early Dismissal every week!

TK - 12:10

4/5 - 1:35

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 at the front gate or through the valet line, as there is no supervision until 8:15am. 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:

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, your child must complete all the work for the Independent Study Contract.

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.
