Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program

Did you know that Hawthorne Elementary School participates in the Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program? The goal of this program is to help students develop healthful eating habits by exposing them to a variety of fruits and vegetables throughout the week. Monday through Thursday every student at Hawthorne receives a snack of fresh, unprocessed fruits and vegetables such as apples, jicama, beet sticks, kiwi, carrots, berries and more!

Breakfast After the Bell begins this school year at Hawthorne!

To ensure that each student has an opportunity to eat the most important meal of the day, breakfast service will now be from 8:00-9:00 am. Breakfast will be served as normal from 8:00am until the bell rings. After the first bell, breakfast will be taken back to the classroom to be enjoyed while class is in session. This program provides students who are unable to arrive early to school, a nutritious meal without missing instructional time in the classroom. Breakfast is free for every student at Hawthorne Elementary and each entrée is served with a variety of fruit options and milk. 

New cell phone policy

The use of cell phones in the classroom can distract students from instruction, yet can be important to have accessible in case of emergency. With this in mind, the district has adopted a new policy 3246 and procedure 3246P which prohibits cell phone use in the classroom while still providing access for students in case of emergency.

Elementary school students who choose to bring cell phones to school may only use them before or after the school day. During the school day, they must be powered off and stored (e.g., in the student’s backpack, locker, other district provided storage). There will be storage in the classroom so, in the event of an emergency, the cell phones will be accessible without leaving the classroom.

Dental Day is Monday, October 24th!

The Dental Day team will be coming to Hawthorne to provide free dental screenings for K-5 and developmental preschool students. All students are welcome to participate. If you would like your child to participate, please fill out and sign the BLUE permission form and return it to school. Students can participate even if they already have a dentist.
