📢 Hawthorne Families / Familias de Hawthorne

Due to the city’s shelter-in-place order after this evening’s tragic plane crash, all JCPS schools, including Hawthorne, will be closed tomorrow (Wednesday, Nov. 5).

This will operate like a snow day — no online instruction or after-school activities.

Thank you for your understanding as our community navigates this difficult time. 💙

Debido a la orden de permanecer bajo resguardo tras el trágico accidente aéreo de esta noche, todas las escuelas de JCPS, incluyendo Hawthorne, estarán cerradas mañana (miércoles 5 de noviembre).

No habrá clases en línea ni actividades después de clases.

Gracias por su comprensión. 💙
