Husky Families,
We’ve made it to the final week before Spring Break! As a reminder, Spring Break will take place from Saturday, April 12 through Monday, April 21. Students will return to school on Tuesday, April 22.
There will be no weekly update next week, as we hope everyone takes this time to rest, recharge, and enjoy time with family and friends. We appreciate all you do to support our students, and we look forward to finishing the year strong when we return!
Please take a moment to review the important updates below. As always, thank you for your support in making Hawfields a great place to work and learn!
