What's Happening??!!
~ Hawley Elementary School Newsletter: September 25, 2023 ~
From the Desk of Mr. Moretti.....
Dear Hawley Parents/Guardians, Teachers, and Staff,
I can not believe it is the final week of September. We are off to such a great start. We have transitioned beautifully back to Hawley. We had 2 Fantastic Open Houses, are honoring Hispanic Heritage Month, have conducted most Safety Drills and have some wonderful activities and family events on the horizon.
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 .....
~ Being The " i " in KIND ~
Hawley's Motto is Work Hard and Be Kind. We are always on the lookout for Kindness. When an Act of Kindness (above and beyond expectations) is observed, we honor our students as they are putting the " i " in KIND!
These below students did just that by helping a new student learn where everything was in class, assisting a struggling student with math manipulatives, helping a friend fill out a journal, and playing with friend who needed a partner.
Love Seeing This!!! We're always looking ;0)
~ Parent Pick-Up ~
- Can you please keep your last name sign visible until you have your child? It helps the staff match students to cars faster.
- Best Places for Name Sign: Passenger Visor followed by Passenger Dashboard
- You are welcome to pull up and into a parking space to better secure a car seat allowing the line to continue to move
- If the turn into the blacktop is tight, please be comfortable waiting for lines to move. I do not want anyone clipping a fender on a fence post or another car.
Thank You for your support and patience.

Out of the Mouths of Babes.....
Mr. M was supervising Grade 4 Recess and was walking students back into the building.
" Hey, are you guys supposed to line up in a particular order? " Mr. M asked
" No, we can line up where we want to. " a 4th grader replied
" Anywhere? " answered Mr. M
Another student answered, " Anywhere except the front, we have a line leader. "
" So, then it is not anywhere " Mr. M replied
" Yes it is, just not the front " answered another student
" That's not anywhere, what if I wanted to be first? " teased Mr. M
" You can't be. " another student chimed in
" So, then it is not anywhere " Mr. M repeated
" Let him be first to end this " shouted another student
