July 2011

Dear Hawthorne Family and Friends,

I hope everyone is enjoying a wonderful and relaxing summer. The start of the 2011–2012 school year is scheduled for Tuesday, September, 6th. We are looking forward to the new school year and the continued partnership between our dedicated staff and families.

Hawthorne's faculty is committed to meeting the learning needs of all students through programs which reflect academic rigor across every discipline. Our goal is to create lifelong learners who use their knowledge, individual strengths and talents to fulfill their personal mission.

Parents are encouraged to participate at Hawthorne to work in partnership with us as we grow our learning community. The Hawthorne PTA is indeed a key component in our school community and supports us through fund raising which enables us to augment our curriculum with enriching programs and activities that benefit our students. I encourage you to visit our Hawthorne School website where all important documents and information for the new school year is posted. Please be sure to submit your email address to our PTA Newsletter list. We want to be sure you receive weekly updates containing important Hawthorne information. Additionally, when needed, parents will receive updates via our phone data base system, to ensure timely access to important school news.

Hawthorne School has tremendous leadership at every level—great students, dedicated and skilled staff members, caring families, and a PTA committed to excellence. Our ongoing commitment is to provide our students an outstanding education. It is an honor to serve as your Principal.

I wish you a wonderful 2011–2012 school year.

Sincerely,

Principal
