Visitors
We are proud of the collaboration and connection we have with our parents and families. It has been our goal this year to increase communication and connections between home and school.
The education of students is our number one concern and responsibility.
In an effort to provide the best learning environment possible we are trying to reduce the interruptions to instruction.
Parents are welcome to walk their students to class between 8:00 and 8:15. After the bell rings, students will have to walk to class on their own or be escorted by a staff member.
If your child forgets something they need for the day, you may bring it by the office and we will get it to your child. Birthday treats can be left at the office also and they will be delivered in a timely manner when it is least disruptive.
Anyone coming into the school between 8:15 and 3:00 will be asked to use the sign in station to obtain a visitor badge.
Thank you for supporting us in the education of all Hanawalt Students.

2017 Science Expo
Science Expo May 16th
Hanawalt Teachers have been collaborating, reflecting and growing in their understanding and use of the Next Generation Science Standards. These new standards that support an increase in engineering, integration and inquiry science have been implemented in all our K-5 Classrooms.
We want to extend our excitement about Science into the traditional Science Fair idea. This year we will be holding a Science Expo for students in grades 3-5.
This event will be non judged, but there will be categories to enter and rubric criteria for each category.
The purpose of the event if to grow and excitement for the sciences and for students to show their understanding of scientific ideas.
Students may enter as a team of two or three or as an individual. The categories for entry are below. Students will be given the information this week and will have until the end of March to sign up to enter the expo.
Students will register at the link below to participate in the Science Expo.
