New to Hawthorne School District?

Your student is considered a "New" Student for the 2024-25 school year if:

• They were not enrolled in an HSD school during the 2023-24 school year or any year prior.

If your student was previously enrolled in HSD, but not currently attending a school in the Hawthorne School District, your student is not classified as a New Student. Please visit your local school site office and ask for support to complete the enrollment process.
