As a central component of the Kentucky Education Reform Act (KERA), the Hawthorne Family Resource Center (HFRC) is funded by a state grant. The primary goal of the HFRC is to remove non-cognitive barriers by working with the school and the community to offer the best services and support to our families so that our students can lead happy, healthy lives and be successful in school. We serve all who attend Hawthorne Elementary Schools and students and families living in the Highlands community.

Our services include, but are not limited to:

• assistance in finding quality,

• affordable child care;

• referrals and/or face-to-face programs for health services;

• support for new and expecting parents;

• referrals to community agencies for basic needs;

• assistance with emergency clothing for students;

• education to improve parenting skills;

• opportunities for social and recreational activities for students and families;

• crisis intervention, and

• advisory services.

The HFRC is available from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.; please feel free to contact Ms. Paguada-Gutiérrez whenever necessary by email at elvira.paguada@jefferson.kyschools.us or by phone at 502.315.0892.
