Dear Hawley Parents/Guardians, Teachers, and Staff,
Well, the Groundhog saw his shadow and boy, are we getting the 6 weeks of winter. One during last week plus last night, AND a few more expected this week. Make sure that you go out and buy Bread, Milk & Eggs. Ya know, cuz when it snows, we all make French Toast ;0)
Buckle up, stay seated, and keep your hands and feet in the car at all times, as you read on to find out What's Happening at Hawley .....
Each month students are chosen in each grade and for each Special for the Specials Spotlight. The Specials Teachers are looking for perseverance, teamwork, cooperation, and hard work. Students being recognized have their picture hung on Bulletin Boards in our Foyer until the end of the following month. Here are those being recognized this month.
Each month, if a parent signed them up, students celebrating a birthday come to the library in the morning. They get a little treat and get to pick out a book to donate to their classroom library.
If you would like your child to participate, reach out to Mrs. Carlson (carlsone@netown.k12.ct.us).
Here are those that celebrated in January.
Once again Hawley students are participating in Jump Rope for Heart. Some information has gone home to help raise money. Here is some additional information as the event happens this week....
Our students have done an amazing job learning how to keep their hearts and minds healthy! We're still collecting donations and working to get every family to learn the lifesaving skill of Hands-Only CPR. If you haven't already, please complete Finn's Mission today so you too can learn how to save a life!

The PTA Pajama Jammie Jam is coming. Join us on Thursday, February 20 for a night of fun. There will be a dance in the gym and a movie in the library. Come in your comfy cozies. Click HERE for more information.
Also, the PTA has begun purchasing many items for Hawley School with the money raised from the Fall Fun Run. I will keep sharing the purchases as they come in. The first was new furniture for our Reading Lounge as the couches in there were over 15 years old and ripped/faded.
Thank You to the PTA for all that you do to support
our school, teachers, staff, families, and students.
- Some families did not receive a call the day school was cancelled and some people have not received their child's emailed iready scores. Please reach out to me if this is you as we are looking into fixing the error. It occurred in all schools not just Hawley.
- There is NO School Friday-Tuesday, 2/14-2/18, for Winter Recess.
- There are many students that have an outstanding balance in the Cafeteria. Please make sure you have money in your student's lunch account if they are buying lunch or snack. We will start reaching out to families in case they are unaware.
- Please make sure your child eats something before school and has a SNACK. Some lunches are early and there is an afternoon snack. Some lunches are later in the day and there is a morning snack.
