Welcome to Hawthorne Elementary School! We expect an
incredibly productive year of academic and social learning and family
partnership.
We work hard with parents and the community to make
Hawthorne a great place to learn and grow!
This year many exciting programs are going on at
Hawthorne. Some are successful programs continuing from
previous years, like GOAL, Early Bird Math and Reading, GATE, the
Dental Van, the Rec. Van, and
After School Homework Room. Some are new, like the Extended
Resource Room, or the Lifetime Movers program which is organized play
three days a week during lunch recess with Mrs. Therrien, or the "Hawk
Eyes" program where we have responsible 4th through 6th graders
facilitating and modeling good play.
School Mission
Boise School District states its purpose as "Education Today for a
Better Tomorrow." We at Hawthorne support that vision and add:
Hawthorne's goal is to continue fostering academic
excellence through collaborative efforts of staff, parents, volunteers,
and students. Our school will be a neighborhood center that
provides a sense of community, safety, stability, and resources for
many family needs. We are committed to guiding and inspiring
students to become productive and valued members of our
community. Our goal is to help students realize their potential
and to establish a solid foundation for their futures. The
Hawthorne staff will continue to demonstrate their commitment to every
student through the exploration of new approaches to teaching, personal
growth, and dedication beyond the classroom.
Leslie Bigham,
Principal
