Superintendent’s Update


October is the month of dyslexia awareness

Are you looking to support families of students with characteristics of dyslexia to grow their understanding of the Power of Self-Advocacy?

Join us at this workshop-style presentation on October 24th at 5:30 pm.  Students who attend this event will learn how to develop a tool to support and communicate their needs.

The Power of Self-Advocacy   See flyer for details.

Do you know of parents who would benefit from learning more about the needs of students with dyslexia?  Invite them to this Dyslexia 101 presentation on October 30th at 5:00 pm.  While parents learn together, students have an opportunity to connect with fellow students with similar learning differences and have fun!

Darts, Donuts, and Dyslexia.  See flyer for details.

Today I will be safe * Today I will be respectful * Today I will be responsible * I will make today a great day, because that’s the Red Hawk Way


Hug-N-Go: I want to thank everyone who is following The Red Hawk Way in all we do on campus! Being safe, respectful, responsible and walking with integrity is who we are and what we do every day at Red Hawk! It is important that our students see all of US doing the same thing! With Hug-N-Go, please continue to meet our expectations in setting a great example for all of our kids! As a gentle reminder, Hug-N-Go will requires patience. If you are in a hurry, Hug-N-Go is not for you that particular day! Some other reminders are to remain in the single file line of cars from the time you drive on campus until you exit campus. Please do not pass, drive around, overtake or in any way get out of the single file line. I also want to thank all of you for keeping our communication in the spirit of the Red Hawk Way! We love our positive, fun, friendly and inviting climate and culture at Red Hawk.
