School Carnival rescheduled due to weather to: Wednesday, September 8th from 5:00 - 8:00 PM 2010-11 Reminder REMINDER : ARE YOU RETURNING TO YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD SCHOOL NEXT YEAR ? JUNE 30TH DEADLINE!! Some students have indicated that although they turned in registration for next year, they are not returning. If you are planning on transferring your student out of Hawthorn Academy to return to your neighborhood school, Hawthorn Academy must notify those schools by June 30, 2010. If the district school(s) does not know that you intend to transfer to their school by June 30th, they may deny you enrollment. The district(s) will allow your student to attend a school, but they may not allow you to attend your neighborhood school in order to avoid overcrowded classrooms. The following procedures have been developed to ensure that all Hawthorn Academy students who wish to transfer to their neighborhood school will meet the deadline. Here is what you will need do: 1. You must notify Hawthorn Academy in writing that you will not be returning to our school next fall by June 1, 2010. Hawthorn Academy will notify the district(s) that you are returning for you. 2. You must fill out a state transfer form and return in to Hawthorn Academy by June 1, 2010. Hawthorn Academy will send these forms to the district(s) by June 30, 2010. **This form is not available yet because the USOE officials are still developing the form. We will get it to you as soon as it becomes available. A letter to Hawthorn Academy indicating you are not returning and the school to which your student will be transferring will be used in lieu of this form until Hawthorn receives the letter from the State Office of Education. Drop-off/Pick-up Procedures Please do not drop students off before 8:10 am. Doors will open at 8:10 every morning. Jr. High students who are dropped off at 8:10 am will be permitted to go to their 1st period teacher’s class. Kindergarten students will also be permitted to go to their teacher’s class. Elementary students grades 1-6 will go to the gym until 8:25 am and will then be released to go to their homeroom class at 8:25 am. **Please follow the school employee/volunteers who will be directing you so that we can have a safe and effective student drop-off and pick-up system. Drop-off (morning) Cars will enter the school parking lot from 2200 west through the north entrance to the parking lot. Both entrance lanes will be accessible and two lanes of cars will move forward. Please do not allow your student(s) to exit the vehicle unless they are in an unloading zone. Cars using the outside lane will exit their students to the right or curbside. Cars using the inside lane will have their students exit on the left and go to the crosswalk near the flagpole – students will wait until they are crossed by a staff member or volunteer. Please follow the direction of the staff member or volunteers. The entrance lane closest to the neighborhood (on the south entrance/exit) will be blocked off making it an exit only during the morning hours. No students will be permitted to cross the parking lot unless accompanied by an adult. Walking students will use the cross walk located along the south wall of the parking lot. Pick-up (afternoon) The north parking lot entrance will be blocked off with cones except for day care vans and emergency vehicles who will be allowed to enter as needed. All parents will enter the south side of the parking lot and will be directed into one of 12 “stacking” or “queue” lanes. Each stacking lane will accommodate approximately 6 cars (72 total) and 18 in the waiting line. Cars will need to have their carpool number displayed in the window. Cars will be directed and sent into the waiting line from each stacking lane and will be motioned forward by the school staff/parent volunteer. Carpool numbers will be radioed to the school and students will be dismissed from their classrooms to go to the front entrance of the school. Please do not allow your student(s) to enter the vehicle unless they are in a loading zone. Please note that the exit will be a right turn only during the afternoon pick-up times. Parents and carpools that only have elementary students are encouraged to come to the school at 3:00 pm to pick up their students. Parents and carpools that have only Jr. high students or both Jr. high and elementary students are encouraged to come to the school after 3:10 pm to pick up students. Elementary students who have Jr. high students in their carpools will remain in their classroom and be dismissed at 3:10 to come outside and wait for their carpool. Elementary walking students will be dismissed at 3:00 pm and Jr. High walking students will be dismissed at 3:10 pm. All walking students are to use the designated crosswalks while on school property and are only to cross 2200 west at 9000 South with the aid of the city crossing guard. Students and parents should not cross 2200 west unless in a designated cross walk. **Please note that no parking or waiting is allowed on 2200 west*** **Please note there is no parking or waiting in Williamsberg Circle from 7:00 – 9:00 am and 2:00 – 5:00 pm** Pick-up/Drop-off Procedures » (printable version) School Fees Click Here to view Hawthorn Academy's 2010-11 Fee Information. |
