Martin Luther King Day is observed every year on the third Monday of January — on January 15 this year. 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 civil rights issues across the globe.

Go Panthers!

Too many absences can keep your student from succeeding in school and life and slow academic and social progress. Last year our school attendance rate was 92%. This year we have set a goal for having a school attendance rate of 95%. Missing just 2 days of school a year can slow the progress of your student!

Please try to have your student attend school every day they can. If you are unsure about the health of your student our school nurse can help make the decision. Please call (805) 488-2217 if you have any questions or we can help in any way! Go Panthers!

If your child will be absent, please call the school and report the absence to our front

office: 805-488-2217 Please bring any doctor's notes or necessary documentation to

excuse any absence to the school office or email it to Veronica Hernandez

Anti-Bullying Policy:

Hathaway and the Governing Board recognize the harmful effects of bullying on student well-being, student learning, and school attendance and desire to provide a safe school environment that protects students from physical and emotional harm. No individual or group shall, through physical, written, verbal, or other means, harass, sexually harass, threaten, intimidate, cyberbully, cause bodily injury to, or commit hate violence against any student or school personnel, or retaliate against them for filing a complaint or participating in the complaint resolution process.

If you or your student have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to the office staff or me at 805-488-2217

Hathaway community, please ensure that our students arrive to campus no later than 8:00 am. Arriving on time allows students time to walk to their line and be ready to be picked up by their teacher. Students should be in their seats by 8:05 am. Students arriving after 8:05 are marked tardy.

Gentle reminders for dressing for success when coming to school: Please wear school appropriate clothing when at Hathaway.

Items that are not allowed:

• gang-related insignia/graffiti on clothing, backpack or school supplies/work,

• clothing with inappropriate writing (alcohol, drugs, weapons, disrespectful statements)

• No clothing, hats or personal items with team/sports logos

• Pajamas (except on celebration days)

• sleeveless tops, see through blouses/shirts, low cut or bare midriff tops; spaghetti straps

Nothing that distracts from the learning environment is allowed.

If you or your student have any questions please do not hesitate to reach out to the office staff or me at 805-488-2217

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!
