Dear Parents and Guardians:

Today I reach out to you as a follow-up to my February 27th letter concerning the tragedy at Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Florida. We continue to hold the victims and their families in our hearts and prayers.

There is a national social media movement underway for students to protest school violence by walking out of class on March 14th and April 20th.  These walkouts have been advertised for specific times for students to participate. It is our plan for All Hawthorn School District 73 students and staff to remain in school. (Continued)

Queridos Padres y Guardianes,

Esta tarde, el Oficial de Recursos del distrito recibió un reporte de que un hombre blanco conduciendo un coche rojo se acercó a un estudiante y ofreció un paseo. No hubo estímulo ni cuando el estudiante se negó. Por favor, tenga una conversación sobre la seguridad con sus hijos sobre personas extraños. El Departamento de Policía de Vernon Hills ha sido alertado de la situación.

Si tiene alguna pregunta o inquietud, por favor no dude en contactarme al 847-990-4215 o por correo electrónico a brownn@hawthorn73.org.

Sinceramente, Nick Brown Superintendente

Notification: fertilizer and weed control application

/in /by

Dear Hawthorn Family:

This letter is to inform you that a Hawthorn contractor is scheduled to apply fertilizer and weed control to our district lawns on the afternoon of May 10, 2016. A projected backup date is scheduled for May 14, 2016, if needed. Sprayed areas will be posted, and people are encouraged to stay off of the areas for two hours after the application.

Hawthorn takes great care to ensure that we maintain the safest environment possible for our students and the entire community. Projects such as fertilizer application are scheduled during times when students are not present and school is not in session. Whenever possible, we use environmentally friendly “green” products.

Hawthorn School District #73 moved to an online notification request system, which is also explained in the Student/Parent Handbook, as well as on the District website, www.hawthorn73.org. If you are interested in receiving notification for the coming school year, please review the Handbook information and send your formal request along with your name and mailing address to notification@hawthorn73.org. You must submit yearly if you want to be included on the notification list.

Sincerely,

James Staples
District Facilities Manager 847.990.4475

Drop off and pickup reminders

/in /by

In order for our drop off and pick up line to be effective, and more importantly, SAFE, please be extremely mindful of the following:
–  Our top priority for all children at Townline is safety. Please drive slowly in our parking lot and pick-up line.
–  The pick-up line is a single file line; therefore, children must exit and enter their vehicles curbside only.
–  No cell phone use of any kind in the school zone.  If violated, the Vernon Hills police Department can issue tickets.
–  If you need to leave your car, you must park in a designated parking spot.
–  Be respectful of the Hawthorn Staff.  They are there to make sure all our children are safe and protected.
–  Be mindful and patient of other vehicles.
