Welcome to the Hawthorne PS Website.
Hawthorne Public School is a diverse school community that believes that relationships are central to excellence in learning. We strive to create a challenging, safe and caring environment where our students are encouraged to think critically, to act responsibly, and to be deeply curious about the world around them as they strive to achieve their full potential and to achieve their goals. As a school community, we believe in academic excellence, respect of self and others, and striving for continuous improvement. We embrace Restorative Practices and Collaborative Problem Solving as approaches when challenges arise, and we work hand in hand with our parent and larger community to support our students. Students are the reason we are here, and Hawthorne staff strive to develop learning opportunities that are based on student voice and interest in order to maximize engagement.
I invite and encourage parents and guardians to come to school and be part of our learning community. Visit our website, follow us on twitter, and look for our regular news updates that come out during the school year. Our monthly School Council meeting is also a place to engage in conversation about learning at school and to meet the other parents of children at school. We are always happy to have new faces join us around the table.
I hope you will find the tools and information on this site helpful in answering your questions.
I look forward to working with you in support of your children!
With Respect,
Kristin Kopra, Proud Principal
