From the school

Communication between home and school is an essential ingredient in creating a positive learning environment. A bi-monthly newsletter, Hawk-Headlines, provides information to parents about school activities, accomplishments, procedures, and student recognition. Teachers communicate weekly via the Thursday Folder and bi-weekly using student progress reports. The school website was recently redesigned to provide expanded access to a variety of information, and to encourage parent involvement. Open House is held during the first weeks of school and Parent-Teacher conferences are held in January. Parents are encouraged to communicate suggestions or concerns teachers or administrators. Parent concerns are addressed in a timely manner. The PTA holds monthly meetings, and sponsors activities such as the annual Spelling Bee and carnival. Adult English classes and monthly meetings for Spanish speakers help to inform and involve Spanish-speaking parents. A PALS grant from the City of Las Vegas promotes positive communication and involvement through family nights, attendance incentives, informational programs and activities such as Healthy Hawks walking program, and Hancock Gardens. A Parent Appreciation Breakfast is held each spring.
