In addition to working toward mastering rigorous academic standards our school supports students’ social and emotional growth through the HAWKS code.  Adopted at the beginning of the 2006 / 2007 school year, the HAWKS code stresses Honesty, Attitude, Welcoming, Kindness and Safety.  Students receive a daily message from the principal about one of these concepts as well as 15 minutes of social / emotional instruction daily in the form of class meetings.
