Find a Book

For students in grades 1 through 7, your Lexile score will appear on your MAP report, which will be included with your end-of-year report card. Parents can also complete a brief online survey to help identify reading options. Scroll to the bottom of the page and click “Find a Book” to begin your search. If you have questions, please email lexilehelp@hawthorn73.org.

Student Assistance Program – Bully Form
Hawthorn’s Student Assistance Program (SAP) provides a comprehensive model for the delivery of K-8 prevention, intervention, and support services. SAP is designed to reduce student risk factors, promote protective factors and increase asset development. This site includes resources to support parents and students, including the Report a Bully form, which allows students and parents to anonymously report situations. Onlineschools.org has released a bullying and cyberbullying guide to provide information and resources to schools, parents, and students to better understand and help prevent bullying in schools and online.
