Research Hawthorne Elementary School public Schools in Peekskill, New York

“My son just started kindergarten. I was a little disappointed with the orientation process. Yes, the kindergarteners take the school bus one hour later, but there was no formal meeting of their teacher prior to the first day. My son was very nervous not knowing where he was suppose to go and who his teacher was. The school did an orientation back in May but I definitely think the first day shoudl be meet the teacher for a half a day. Most other school districts have half day dismissals the first week of school.”

“My daughter completed kindergarden last year and was happy to begin grade one this fall. At the end of kindergarden she was reading far better than I would have expected and had gained a good deal of maturity. Her kindergarden teacher was wonderful and really enjoyed being with the children.”

“I went to orientatation recently, my son will begin in September 2008, My first impression after hearing from the Principal, staff members and seeing the video of a day in Kinderarten is WOW, what a wonderful school my son will be in, I am usually 100% right with my first thoughts we can't wait to experience the learning years at Hawthorne Elementry, will give an update in Sept- I'm sure it will be only GREAT GREAT GREAT”

“Hawthorne is an exceptional school. The teachers and support staff are wonderful and caring. Parents are welcome to read and support the school when needed. There are many cultural arts programs offered. There is even a holiday boutique where the children can purchase gifts for family members. The special part is the gifts are made by the parents. A great school.”
