What's Happening ?? !!
~ Hawley Newsletter ~ February 11, 2018 ~
From the Desk of Mr. Moretti
Dear Hawley Parents/Guardians,
Here's What's Happening at Hawley.......
- PTA International Dessert Night is THIS Tuesday evening, 6:00-7:30 PM. Join us for an evening of desserts and activities from around the world. Still room so walk-ins are accepted and volunteers are still needed. Contact Laura Brennan (brennanla@hotmail.com) for more information.
- The PTA is considering a possible donation to Hawley School for the purchase of items requested by staff and students. There is a special PTA Meeting being added to discuss and vote on items as well as an opportunity to ask budget questions. It will be Wednesday, 2/21 at 4:00 PM in the library with child care available in the gym. We hope that you can join us.
- Our next security drill will be a Lock Down. It will occur at the end of the month (week of the 19th). More information will follow as we get closer.
- Click HERE for the monthly Nutrition Newsletter from Whitsons.
- I would strongly suggest all Husbands/Fathers make sure there is some sort of acknowledgement/recognition planned for THIS Wednesday (2/14). Whether it be candy, flowers, food preparation/purchase, anything except "that's today?" Simply my humble $.02
Absences and Sickness
This appeared in the last Newsletter but I am keeping it in as it certainly is worth a second read. Your appreciation and support is most welcomed, contact me with any questions.....
Sickness
As I am sure you have seen and heard, the flu season is turning into a bad one. PLEASE keep students home that are sick to avoid the spread of germs to others. This includes adults visiting the building (volunteering, pick-ups, etc.)- if sick, please cancel or reschedule.
We will be taking advantage of all warm weather to open windows and will continuously disinfect door knobs, handrails, desks, staff, etc.
Absences
The absence letters that go home are form letters and are generated based solely on a number to inform parents of the amount of absences incurred. As per State law, the first 9 are at the parents discretion without explanation. After 9, to be an excused absence, documentation is required, so we send home the letters.
As I have stated at Open House, in my Principals's Message and numerous What's Happening Newsletters, this is not a cause for alarm. If I have a concern with the number of a student's absences, I will contact the family personally.
You can click HERE for the State Guidelines/Statutes.If you have any further questions please feel free to give me a call.
3rd Grade Chorus
Please note that if there is a delayed opening on the morning of a chorus rehearsal, the rehearsal is CANCELLED.

Funny Bones
Out of the Mouths of Babes........
Mr. M approached a line of 2nd graders in the hallway.
"What did you all like about the Super Bowl?" Mr. M asked
"It was an exciting game" said one child
"The commercials!" added another
"That Tom Brady shared his trophy with the Eagle."
