School Information
Parent Conference Week
We have a lot happening at Hawes this week. Here are some of the key events and things to know:

Parent Conference week: is this week and our dismissal schedule is DIFFERENT this week. The schedule is as follows:
  • Tuesday: Early dismissal day (TK @ 12:10; Kindy - grade 3 @ 1:26 and grades 4-5 @ 1:35)
  • Wednesday - Student free day (No School) for parent conferences
  • Thursday: Early dismissal day (TK @ 12:10; Kindy - grade 3 @ 1:26 and grades 4-5 @ 1:35)

Parent conferences give you and the teacher a chance to connect to discuss your child's progress as well as to share insights. Be sure to attend your scheduled time. If you are unable to attend, please contact your child's teacher or the school office to reschedule.

100 Mile Running Club is now scheduled for every morning before school. This week we will have it Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday since we do not have school on Wednesday.

Art class with Mrs. Stern is this week. All of our students will participate in creating an art masterpiece.

All school assembly is Friday morning at 8:45 am. Our student council will be sharing information about Red Ribbon Week (next week). Students from each class will be recognized for modeling motivation or caring, our MegaSkills traits of the month.
October Family Activity Challenge
This month we are focused on motivation and caring. The activity challenge was sent home this week and is also attached to the Enews. If you complete 4 activities and return the completed form to the classroom teacher, your child will earn a BRAG TAG for these traits!
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 going to be absent from school 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 to prior to the start date of the absence in order to prepare the materials. ALL work needs to be completed and returned to the teacher upon his/her return to school for credit to be given for the absence.

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.
