Celebrate Martin Luther King Jr. Holiday!
Martin Luther King Day is observed annually on the third Monday of January — January 20. King was an influential civil rights leader — best known for his work on racial equality and ending racial segregation in the United States. His life and achievements are remembered and celebrated on this day.
Each year, on the third Monday of January, we observe Martin Luther King, Jr. Day and reflect on the work that still needs to be done for racial equality. This January 15, make the holiday more than just a day off and take time to reflect and take action on global civil rights issues.

Safety First
Hathaway Community, one of the most important goals at Hathaway is for us to work together to keep all students, staff and educational partners safe as we enter and exit campus.
Please remember:
During morning drop-of and afternoon pick up, please do not park in red zones or double park on Dollie Street in front of the school.
Parking lots are for district staff and individuals who need accessible parking only.
Please remember to use crosswalks and sidewalks when walking to campus.
Please be respectful to staff as we work together to enforce safety for all.
Thank you in advance for your help making Hathaway a safe and excellent school!
