Dear Hawthorne Family and Friends,

Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year at Hawthorne School. I sincerely hope that each of you had a wonderful and relaxing summer. Here at Hawthorne School, we are committed to providing a physically and emotionally safe atmosphere, in which students can learn and are challenged. Our programs are designed to promote the maximum growth and achievement for each child.

 

The Hawthorne School community recognizes today's society as multicultural and global, and emphasizes the use of technological resources to support and enhance classroom instruction. Our teachers celebrate the rich cultural diversity of our student population, while acknowledging that all students learn differently. Therefore, our teachers differentiate their instruction to meet the needs of all of our students.

We at Hawthorne School take great pride in our high standards of scholarship and citizenship. Teachers, parents, and students are dedicated to one another and work cooperatively. We encourage your participation so we can achieve our goals.

The PTA is indispensable to our school's success. They support us by raising money to provide additional programs and activities for students. Some of these activities include the funding of science programs, purchase and maintenance of musical instruments, after-school tutoring, computers and technology, field trips, and assemblies dealing with pertinent topics. We encourage you to join this organization and become an integral part of our family.

 

A necessary component of our school / parent communication system is our Principal’s News List, located on the front page of our Hawthorne School Website at http://haw.bhusd.org. Please enter your email address on our website by clicking on the tab labeled, “Principal’s News List”, to receive the Weekly Bulletin and Principal’s Announcements. This is not necessary if you have already done so this past year.

Should you desire to get in contact with me at any time, I am available via email at acherniss@bhusd.k12.ca.us. In addition, I will be available to meet with you either in person or by telephone, after August 15, 2007.

 

 

Sincerely,

Alex Cherniss

Principal
