Hawkins Elementary School

Attendance in early grades builds a foundation for students in later grades. Students gain positive habits, strong academic foundations, and confidence to succeed throughout school. Research shows a direct correlation to chronic absenteeism and reading levels in 3rd grade!

Many thanks to Austin Manning, from the HCS technology department. He’s worked several days on our campus installing our new cameras. We appreciate his hard work! 😊
