Although we are many at Hayward, we are also one. At our annual Somos Uno celebration, our handprint mural shows how well we all fit together as a community.

May was a short month and it can be one of the hardest months of the school year. It is a busy month full of programs, field trips, testing, and the thought of summer vacation coming soon. It can be a lot for anyone to navigate and we wanted to celebrate one last batch of students who worked hard to be here everyday, be accountable all the time, worked hard even though the school year is nearly over, practiced kindness with everyone, and worked at staying safe. In addition to our classroom Hawks, our staff that helps out with busing everyday wanted to take the opportunity to celebrate our fifth graders who have been amazing leaders on the bus all year long. These students have led by example when it comes to being to the bus on time, using respectful language and voice levels, staying safely seated, and helping younger students by reminding them to follow the bus rules. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Mayo fue un mes corto y puede ser uno de los más difíciles del año escolar. Es un mes ajetreado, lleno de programas, excursiones, exámenes y la idea de las próximas vacaciones de verano. Puede ser un desafío para cualquiera, y queríamos celebrar a la última generación de estudiantes que se esforzaron por estar aquí todos los días, ser responsables en todo momento, trabajaron duro a pesar de que el año escolar está a punto de terminar, fueron amables con todos y se esforzaron por mantenerse seguros. Además de nuestros Hawks de aula, el personal que ayuda con el transporte escolar a diario quiso aprovechar la oportunidad para celebrar a nuestros estudiantes de quinto grado, quienes han sido líderes increíbles en el autobús durante todo el año. Estos estudiantes han dado el ejemplo al llegar puntualmente al autobús, usar un lenguaje y un tono de voz respetuosos, permanecer sentados de forma segura y ayudar a los estudiantes más pequeños recordándoles que cumplan las reglas del autobús.

Don't forget to join us on Friday for the fun!

Congratulations to our April Hawks of the Month!! So many of our students do an outstanding job all year long and we love to try and recognize as many of them as we can. 🎉❤

K06 and 306 students work on building social skills during their Hawk Buddies time. Spending time together playing games, reading books, and talking to each other while building with blocks allows for our students to build relationships outside their classroom and helps them grow as Hawks.
