The talent we have at Hawkins is amazing! Thank you to all those who attended our Hawkapalooza it was a great way to raise money for our Science Department and show off our student’s and staff’s talents. Some of you were able to see a little hint of it at our Hawkapalooza event last Thursday evening. But the talent doesn’t stop there, we have several students who have a variety of talent from placing in the State Science Fair, to students performing in the local production of Annie, to being a part of the USA Junior Olympic team in water polo, to the amazing talents you’ll see at our Hawkins Talent Show next week and we can’t forget our amazing staff band, the Alkizzle & G Funk Or- chestra. We have much pride in our Hawkins students and the amazing talent they show both in school and out of school. The DARE Graduation last week was also talent filled as we saw some of our students perform singing and dancing along with Alexis Webb allowing me to read her award winning es- say. Again, we have amazing students! We are coming down to the last four weeks of school (17 days) and there are many events coming up for all our grade levels. Wednesday, May 9 is the last general HPFC meeting of the 11/12 school year and will be held at 3:15 p.m. in the Library. The results of the election will be shared and the transition to the new board will begin. Open House is on Thursday evening beginning at 6:30 p.m. until 7:30 p.m. What a great opportunity to see all of the wonderful student work each classroom has been working on throughout the school year. The HPFC will be selling hot dogs and pizza beginning at 5:00 p.m. in the gym. Our 5 th grade parent meeting is at 5:45 p.m. in the Library, our 6 th grade team is excited to share the upcoming year’s plans. We send off our second grade classes to visit the Oakland Zoo on Friday and luckily they won’t have a need for umbrellas, unlike last year. Friday is also a big day for our 8 th graders as they share their Portfolios with staff members and district office staff. This is one of their last requirements as they move towards high school. We are all looking forward to their presentations. All 7 th grade parents, please continue reading on into our newsletter because we need your help! We look forward to another fun filled week!

Kindergarten-8th grade registration packets for the

changed the law for kindergarten entry date from De-

cember 2nd to Hovember 1st. Children must be 5 years

old by Hovember 1, 2012 to enter traditional kindergar-

ten.

Parents of students who turn 5 between Hovember 2nd

and December 2, 2012, may choose to register their chil-

dren for Transitional Kindergarten. Our Transitional

Kindergarten program is contingent on State funding

which is uncertain at this time. We will notify families

when the state make a decision.

The following information is needed

before a packet will be accepted:

- Proof of Residency

- Birth Certificate

- Immunization Records

Intra-district Open Enrollment for the 2012-13 School Year

A message from Superintendent Dana Eaton

Some of you may wish your child/children to attend one of our schools instead of their assigned or current school. In an effort to possibly accommodate these wishes, the district has in place board policy 5116.1, which allows you to complete an intra-district atten-dance request form. These forms are available at all

four school sites, the district office and www.jeffersonschooldistrict.com. Please return your completed form to any school site or the district office

between May 1 and May 15.

Intra-district requests will be considered only if there is space available at a particular site and grade level. Throughout the spring, I will be closely monitoring the enrollment and grade level numbers at each site.

Families will be notified of the decision the first week of June.

If you are interested, a copy of the board policy 5116.1 is available at the district office, 1219 Whispering Wind

Drive, or on the district website.

The School Year for

2012-2013 begins:

Monday,

August 13th!

Congratulations

to

Mrs. Amato’s 6th

grade class for

winning last

week’s Spirit

Award!
