School Updates for September 4, 2026
We have had an exciting two weeks preparing for the upcoming school year, and we can’t wait to welcome back all of our Hawthorne Huskies on Tuesday!
You should have received your child's class placement at 4:00pm. If you didn't receive it, please don't worry, we will have plenty of staff members outside on the playground Tuesday morning with up-to-date class lists to help guide your student.
We know this weekend brings a mix of excitement and first-day nerves, but rest assured, your child is going to have a fantastic start to the year. Enjoy the long weekend, and we'll see you on Tuesday!

Cell Phones: At Hawthorne we practice “Bell to Bell, No Cell” which is in compliance with Ministry of Education Policies. During the school day, communication with home should be through the school (classroom phone with permission or from the office). All learning at school should be on school technology. Headphones are not permitted in the hallways (only in class when teachers have given permission). Smart Watches, GPS Watches and Camera Watches must stay in your bag or locker during the school day. We appreciate your ongoing support with this.
Plans of Care Reminders: A gentle reminder to please drop off any required medical supplies and paperwork at the main office if you haven't already. As a safety requirement, we must have a duplicate on hand for emergency items like inhalers and EpiPens.
