Hawthorne Elementary

Hawthorne is committed to creating and nurturing a warm, welcoming, and inclusive environment that is conducive to learning. It’s understandable – expected, even – for our young people to need additional emotional support in managing feelings and regulating their emotions. With our families' partnership, our goal is to reinforce that our school is a place where every student can feel safe.
