As his wealth grew, Mr. Insull purchased land along Milwaukee Road, which eventually became home to the estate and mansion that was completed in 1914, and which is now known as Cuneo Mansion. When Mr. Insull’s holdings encompassed the property of John Locke, Libertyville’s first Village President, he also took possession of a deteriorating Locke School. Mr. Insull took it upon himself to build the first Hawthorn School on land near the family’s home. Some say the school’s name came from Hawthorn trees he imported to remind him of home in England. Most of the first Hawthorn students were from families who worked the estate’s fields. Mr. Insull sent a horse and wagon to collect the children who lived farthest from the school. Classes were taught in English and German. That school was torn down in the 1990s. In 1924, local voters from three separate one-room schools (Coon, Butterfield and Hawthorn) decided to consolidate their resources into Hawthorn District 73, forming one of the oldest districts in the state. Mr. Insull also donated the land for the new Hawthorn school building, a state-of-the-art four-room brick building constructed along what is now Route 60. At that time, the school served about 30 students in first through fourth grades. That building was well used for nearly 80 years. After numerous modifications and additions, the building was torn down in 2004 to make way for Townline Elemetary and the Hawthorn School of Dual Language. As the wrecking ball was poised to demolish the building, members of the Hawthorn Preservation Committee recalled the existence of a WPA mural in one of the classrooms. The 1937 mural, entitled “Children’s Stories,” was saved, restored and reinstalled in Townline building. Today’s Hawthorn is comprised of six different school buildings serving approximately 4000 students attending kindergarten through 8th grade. 2011-03-24T19:26:31+00:00 http://www.hawthorn73.org/index.php/info/support_our_schools/ http://www.hawthorn73.org/index.php/info/support_our_schools/#When:20:51:10Z Support our Schools If you shop in our local community (think groceries and essentials) then you can contribute to our fundraising efforts for Hawthorn District 73.

AlertNow is a phone call system that provides pre-recorded automated telephone messages in a relatively quick amount of time. What is AlertNow? AlertNow is a phone call system that provides pre-recorded automated telephone messages in a relatively quick amount of time. When will the AlertNow Emergency Notification System will be used? We will use the emergency notification system in the event of school closings due to severe weather or for other emergency situations deemed by the Superintendent to warrant immediate notification. Occasionally we will use the system for routine announcements. We also send a test message each fall. Which numbers will be called and under what circumstances? For urgent situations such as an emergency school closing for a snow day, or other events that the Superintendent determines it essential to reach families, the following phone numbers will be called: Student’s home phone number Mother’s cell phone number Father’s cell phone number General information messages will be provided only to the student’s home phone number. Where do the telephone numbers come from? The phone numbers used by AlertNow (and our school offices in general) are provided by parents during the registration process. Please make sure you keep your contact information updated by contacting your school office. Why do I get so many calls? As we have worked with the AlertNow system, we have tried to balance “information” with “interruption.” We realize that in some cases, families may receive automated calls to several different phone numbers. We hope that the inconvenience of this interruption is outweighed by the assurance that you have received the message. How does the system work? When the need arises to send a notification, the Superintendent will record a message that will be broadcast to the appropriate phone numbers (as described above). We also provide a similar message in Spanish to those families who have requested that communication be provided in Spanish. The automated system will attempt three times to reach the numbers and will make every attempt to leave a message on answering machines and/or voice mail. Why didn’t I receive a call? There are a number of reasons why you might not have received a particular call: The number we have in our system is incorrect for some reason. To avoid these situations, please notify your child’s school of any changes in your home, work or cell phone numbers. Also, please review your information and make corrections when you register each spring. Your answering machine or voice mail presents a problem for the automated calling system.
