Principal's Message
Hathaway Community, June brings us to the end of another successful year at Hathaway with Summer just around the corner! We still have a lot of learning left to do so please help us by encouraging students to work hard through the end of the year! The staff and I want to thank you for your continued support of Hathaway and the great job you have been doing to support students at home!
Please take a few moments to read our entire newsletter. This issue contains important information about the end of the school year and some of the chores we have to finish up
Reminder that every Wednesday of the year is an early release day. Kindergarteners dismiss at 11:56 am grades First - Fifth dismiss at 1:02 pm.
Thursday, June 1: ALL Kindergarteners will begin to dismiss daily at 11:25 am. for the remainder of the year.
Even though the end of the school year is almost here we still have a lot to learn! Please continue to support our students by:
- Encouraging you child to read every night. 20 to 30 minutes reading everyday will help make a big difference in their learning lives.
- Encourage your child to count, add, subtract multiply and divide. Encourage them to solve math problems and see how math is a part of our daily lives at work and at home.
Please note the changes in our daily schedule for the last month of school. If you have any questions or concerns about your child's progress or need any support at school or home, please stop by, call, email or text us!
