Hello Families,

We are excited to welcome students back to Hawthorne Elementary for the 2023-2024 school year. After a few years of unpredictable schedules and health regulations, we are excited to be returning from the more regular 2022-2023 school year. Students made incredible academic, social, and emotional progress last year, and we are eager to build on their strengths. 

Our goal this year is to support students' development of their independent learner skills, continue to teach strategies for emotional self-regulation, and provide culturally responsive instruction that meets the needs of each student. The family and school partnership is important to the success of each student, and we encourage you to actively participate in the school as a volunteer, Natural Leader or Parent Teacher Association member. 

If you are concerned about your child’s learning, please reach out to their classroom teacher. Every year we start by checking students’ current academic levels, adjusting lessons for students and identifying students who need additional support. We have intervention specialists in math, reading and behavior that are ready to support students in need. Your child’s classroom teacher is your best point of contact to initiate this type of support.  

If your family needs assistance with basic needs, food, clothing, housing, counseling, or health care, please reach out to our main office. Our school has a full-time family support advocate, and we are the site for the Everett Public School Family Resource Center in North Everett. We are here to help. We are very confidential and discrete in supporting families.  

Every day at school counts. Thank you for working to keep students healthy and attending school on a regular basis. To give your student the best chance of success, have them work on their i-Ready individual lesson, practice math facts and read for at least 20 minutes a night. Communication is key, so please make sure to check your child’s backpack regularly and their blue folder every Wednesday for important forms and flyers. We look forward to partnering with you this school year.  

Sincerely, 

Mr. Ellsworth 

Principal
