Peanut Free Zone

Dear Parents,

Several students have moderate to severe allergies to peanuts and other nut oils. In order to provide a safe environment for all of our children, we have peanut-free lunch tables available for all students at Hawes.

School Supply List

Many parents have asked us to provide a shopping list of school supplies prior to the start of school. The grade level teachers have designed a preliminary optional supply list that your child may bring on the first day of school (9/2/09) if he/she chooses.
