Hawthorne Happenings

Hawthorne Elementary School is "A Place of Great Beginnings."  We are a learning community focused on sustaining and extending the natural curiosity and enthusiasm of our K-2 students.  Hawthorne staff and families work together to nurture the attitudes, skills, and knowledge that lead to a strong mastery of basic skills and to the development of social responsibility. 

We recognize and celebrate the needs of our students through our commitment to:

•  Appreciate each child as an individual. 
• Provide a safe, joyful learning environment in which children can work productively, creatively, and harmoniously.
• Develop thinking and problem solving through engagement in meaningful learning experiences. 
• Nurture the development of social and emotional skills.
• Expand each student’s independence and autonomy through a balance of encouragement, support, and challenge.
