Welcome! I’m so glad that you are taking the time to learn more about Hawk Elementary via the Internet. Hawk Elementary is a wonderful place for students, staff, parents and our community. At Hawk we believe that everything we do is to prepare our children for their future as well as ours. Our motto at Hawk is Learners Today…Leaders Tomorrow, because we know that we only have a few short years to influence those that will lead our communities one day. The teachers, paraprofessionals, parents, and volunteers of this school seek to work together so that we can help each child reach their fullest potential.

Hawk Elementary has many programs available to our students. We have student ambassadors and student council for our 4^th and 5^th graders. Our music teacher puts together a 5^th grade choir and “ringers” group each semester. We serve students of all needs through many different programs such as Reading 180, EXPO, Dyslexia, Speech and Language Therapy, Reading Recovery, Literacy Groups, Friendship Groups, Developmental Play and much more! Hawk Elementary was the first elementary campus in Denton ISD to provide services for special education students through inclusion. At Hawk we do not have a traditional resource classroom for students with specific learning disabilities, our Inclusion Specialists support identified students in the homeroom classroom.

This school year the staff at Hawk Elementary will continue to focus on being a professional learning community. As a PLC we plan to focus on helping every single student learn the curriculum that we know to be crucial for their success in the years to come. It is our mission to support the needs of each student and we plan to focus our time and energy on accomplishing this for all children. As a school community we have agreed upon our mission, established a vision of what we want for our school, and committed to enabling this vision to become a reality.
