SCHOOL BEGINS AT 8:30 A.M. SCHOOL ENDS AT 2:30 P.M.

Be on time. Doors will open at 8:20 Have a pick-up plan & be on time.

 

Doors to the building open at 8:20 a.m. All students should be in their classrooms by 8:30 a.m. We ask that you meet this time deadline as we are working hard to secure the building and limit the opening and closing of doors. PLEASE – NO LATE STUDENTS.

CAR RIDER PROCEDURES: Supervision begins at 8:20.

Vehicle Procedures for the Morning:

 

• Enter the furthest parking lot and stay to the right
• Always pull all the way up to the last cone or furthest point in the line
• Be sure to stay in line and in your vehicle
• Students are required to exit the car CURB SIDE only. Staff members will be on duty to assist if children have difficulty with the door.
• All students will head directly to their assigned doors to enter the building. Please see the map below.

 

Vehicle Procedures for the Afternoon:

• Enter the furthest parking lot and stay to the right
• Always pull all the way up to the last cone or furthest point in the line
• Be sure to have visible the tag with your child’s number on your rear view mirror. This tells the staff on duty who is authorized to pick up.
  
• Students are required to enter the car CURB SIDE only. Staff members will be on duty to support students as needed. Please see the map below.
  

 

• NOTE: If your child requires assistance with buckling a seat belt, please allow your child to enter the car and then pull into a parking spot to assist them.

Car riders will be provided tags just like we have in the past. However, this year we have purchased new tags and will be providing each family with 1 backpack tag per child and 2 car tags per family. If your tags are lost and you require a replacement we will be charging $1 as the tags do cost the school money each year.

 

DISMISSAL: Students will be dismissed at 2:30 p.m. IT IS VITAL that you have a pick-up person ready at 2:30 as we have limited supervision of students after that time. Students will be dismissed through the same door they entered the building.

 

Changes in Daily Dismissal Schedule - Any changes to student dismissal must be communicated to both the office and the classroom teacher prior to 2:00pm. You can either email the teacher and marywalsh@u-46.org or jessicapaz@u-46.org OR call the front office at 630-540-7676. It is imperative you notify us of any changes so we can get your children to the proper location for dismissal.

Mr. Feather’s Headquarters documents important information related to Hawk Hollow’s improvement goals, ongoing events, PBIS activities, nursing information, arrival and dismissal and much more. Please be sure to check your emails on the second and four Saturday of each month for our newsletter. If you are NOT receiving Mr. Feather’s Headquarters, please click on this link to notify the office.

 

Teachers will be sending home newsletters electronically to share classroom information. However, we highly encourage and recommend all families sign up to become an observer on the teachers Canvas page. For directions on how to complete this, click here to view tutorials.

Breakfast and lunch are FREE to all students this year. Doors will open at 8:15 for breakfast. All students are welcome to come to the front door, press the big RED button for the office, and let us know they are coming in for breakfast. Students will be supervised in the Cafe and if they finish their breakfast before 8:25 then they will go to their designated spots on the playground. If students are not done eating at 8:25 they will be dismissed directly to their classrooms.

 

Lunch will be FREE for all students. Students can use lunchboxes this year!!!

 

Menus for breakfast and lunch can be found here: https://www.u-46.org/Page/9190

 

 

Students will have a snack time break at varied times throughout the day. Teachers have the option to host snack time in their classroom, cafe, or bring students outside (weather permitting). The snack break will be scheduled by teachers. Snacks are NOT provided so parents will need to send those items in. Please make sure you are sending in a healthy snack for your child.
