Welcome, Parents!
At Hawthorn, we believe that you, our students’ parents, are the primary educators in your children’s education. Ergo, we have put together this section of our website especially for you, with the intention of providing information to support your key role, to build our community, and to celebrate parenting. We encourage you to take note of important upcoming events, join us whenever you can, and explore the resources listed. Your care and nurturing make a tremendous impact on our classrooms, and we are tremendously grateful for your collaboration in our shared mission of developing confident young women of integrity and faith committed to the betterment of society. Thank you, parents!
