Around the School Spotlight
Our DLI students celebrated EL Dia de los Muertos this week. Classes spent time honoring and sharing special memories of family members (including pets) who are no longer with us. Each DLI class created something special to add to the display case. This combined effort is a beautiful celebration of culture and families here at Hawks View.
SMILE! Picture Retakes are Tuesday
Picture retakes are Tuesday, November 7th. If you would like your student to have their picture retaken, please return the original picture packet with them on Tuesday, to turn in to the photographer. We also have extra envelopes in the office if needed. Please see the flyer for online ordering information.

Inclement Weather & Safety
As the cold weather approaches, please make sure all jackets are labeled with your child’s name. This is the time of year that our “lost and found” becomes a popular place, so having a name on the coat/sweatshirt will allow us to return it!
With the dark mornings and cold, wet weather arriving, please be extra careful on our streets and in our parking lots. Visibility is often poor, and pedestrians are difficult to see. We have had some close calls with our crossing guards almost getting hit due to cars exiting the parking lot and turning right while the crossing guard is in the crosswalk. Please do not exit until the crossing guard is safely on the sidewalk, this is very dangerous for any pedestrians coming from the other direction as well as our staff.
In addition, the small parking lot is not a student drop off/pick up area, it is a staff parking lot. This is a very small lot with low visibility and very little space, we ask that you not use this lot to drop off your students. There are no crosswalks and no staff to monitor the lot.
Be sure to give yourself some extra time if you are dropping your student(s) off at school to ensure your student arrives safely and in a timely manner. Thank you for helping us keep your students and our staff safe.
