If your child is going to be absent, please let me know so I can tell you what they missed and what they need to do and also PLEASE EXCUSE them by calling the office 801-260-3040. I can't have any unexcused students or I have to email you. Thank you in advance.

HAVE YOUR STUDENTS BRING THEIR BOX TOPS IN!!!! :)
Please do not park on 11400 South. "No Parking" signs are posted on the street for a reason. Do not turn left out of the parking lot. We want to keep your children safe and those exiting the parking lot safe as well. It is right turn only when you exit. Thank you for your cooperation.
Internationally Minded Achievement Award
This award is an opportunity for all Hawthorn students to extend their learning beyond the school day and take student-initiated action in their community. Specific requirements vary depending on the grade, and can be viewed here: https://hawthornacademy.org/ima. IMA Awards are due May 1st!
HOPE Happenings:
Start checking under your couch cushions! After spring break (April 22-30), students can bring in money for our April Showers Coin Drive. The 3 classes that raise the most will earn a party! All donations will go toward buying a new sound system for the school gym.
HOPE is getting ready for a fantastic carnival on Friday, May 3 at 4-7 p.m. Our "Million Dreams" Circus will have fun inflatables and a "dunk the teacher" tank behind the school. In the gym, you'll find games and a silent auction with some treasures you'll want to bid on!
Get your carnival tickets early! Early bird ticket sales will be held on Thursday, April 25 and Friday, April 26 from 12:30 to 4 p.m. in front of the school. You can buy a wristband and 20 tickets for just $15
Volunteers Needed:
Volunteer to sell early bird tickets, and we'll give you free tickets as thanks! (Sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/508054CACAB2EA0F58-carnivalcircus.)

Just a reminder – school lets out at 3:15 M-Th and 1:15 on Fridays. We have noticed some children staying later each day. Faculty and staff need the time from when school gets out at 3:15 to prepare for the next school day. Per the student parent handbook the policy is as follows:
Dismissal: At the end of the school day, parents need to meet students at the front of the school in the pick-up zone. All students must be picked up by 3:40 p.m. (or 1:40 p.m. on Friday), except students who participate in school sanctioned after-school activities. Siblings of students participating in after-school activities must be picked up by 3:40.
If you would like to volunteer please email me!
