Welcome
Welcome to Hawthorne Elementary School, a place of great beginnings. Our faculty and staff are dedicated to creating an engaging environment where our students can explore, construct and share ideas. We are committed to providing an atmosphere where students become caring, connected, and responsible individuals. We continually strive to refine and differentiate our instructional practices in response to each child’s academic, social, and emotional needs. We are looking forward to an exciting year of working together to support our students.
