What a wonderful first day! Our students and families are AMAZING! Our afternoon car rider line was smooth and quick...a huge celebration! Thank you for your continued support!

A few reminders for tomorrow (Friday):

  • The Assumption High School traffic can be a challenge. We will open up car rider a little earlier tomorrow morning, but please be prepared to navigate traffic on Bardstown Road. 

  • We aren't counting anyone late this week due to the car rider line, so please take your time and be safe! 

  • In the morning car rider line, please pull all the way up to the orange cone and drive away once your student has exited the car. 

  • Stay in your car and have your student ready to exit! 

Happy Friday! We look forward to another great day at Hawthorne Elementary! 


¡Qué maravilloso primer día! ¡Nuestros estudiantes y familias son INCREÍBLES! La fila de autos para recoger a los estudiantes esta tarde fue rápida y fluyó muy bien… ¡un gran motivo para celebrar! ¡Gracias por su continuo apoyo!

Algunos recordatorios para mañana (viernes):

  • El tráfico de Assumption High School puede ser un desafío. Mañana por la mañana abriremos la fila de autos un poco más temprano, pero por favor estén preparados para el tráfico en Bardstown Road.

  • Esta semana no contaremos a ningún estudiante como tarde debido a la fila de autos, así que ¡tómense su tiempo y conduzcan con cuidado!

  • En la fila de autos por la mañana, por favor avancen hasta el cono naranja y continúen su camino una vez que su estudiante haya salido del auto.

  • ¡Permanezcan en su auto y asegúrense de que su estudiante esté listo para salir!

¡Feliz viernes! ¡Esperamos tener otro gran día en Hawthorne Elementary!
