The Hawk Talk
'Together, We Can Make a Difference.' August 17, 2018
Principal's Message
What a great week for the Hawks! The Hawthorne staff thanks all of our families for their support and allowing us the opportunity to educate these children. Our motto is “Together We Can Make A Difference.” This quote sums up how I feel about the importance of home and school working together. Our students prove everyday that they have loads of potential. They need us to show them how to be strong enough to stand tall and brave enough to fly high. What does family involvement look like?
Joining the PTA
Attending school activities
Volunteering at the school

Why join the Hawthorne PTA?
Joining the PTA allows you to meet some great people. PTA functions are opportunities to meet other parents and teachers, to build rapport and discuss issues that are on your mind. You can share ideas, concerns, and experiences to make the school year better for everyone.
The mission of the Hawthorne Elementary PTA is to act in the interest of the children, to encourage understanding and cooperation between parents and teachers, and to promote programs that benefit the success of children’s learning. The Hawthorne PTA supports education through active participation and advocacy.
Hawthorne Elementary has a very active and supportive PTA. We sponsor many fun events throughout the school year including monthly board meetings, skating parties, Kid’s Night Out and the Hawthorne Family Dinner and Basket Auction. We also provide volunteers for many school events as well as provide support for school programs such as Super Reader, Breakfast with Santa and the annual fund raiser. Please join us for a PTA meeting to see what we’re all about.

Warren Township Technology Policy
Hawthorne Elementary School is implementing a new 1 to 1 Chromebook program for its students this school year. Each student will be assigned a particular Chromebook for classroom use. The Chromebooks will still be kept and charged in a classroom cart. However, the Chromebooks will be labeled with the School, Classroom, Student Name, and Cart Slot number for storage. Students are responsible for proper care and use of the Chromebook.
Each Chromebook is covered by a District sponsored insurance program for accidental damage. The technology fee will cover the enrollment into the insurance program. Purposeful damage is not covered by the insurance program and will be charged by this payment schedule:
Repair = Family Charge
1st Incident = $5, 2nd Incident = $25, 3rd = $50
