Thursday Tidbits:
Please bring your child(ren) to school on time every day. Hawthorne School's instructional day runs from 8:30AM to 3:00PM. Students who arrive after 8:30AM must receive a late pass.
Regular tardiness to school can adversely impact the academic performance and social-well being of students. Additionally, students arriving late to the classroom disrupt the flow of morning instruction.
