In compliance with Utah Board Rule R277-123, which provides a process for reporting violations of law or rule within public education. Individuals who wish to file a complaint or concern related to possible violations may do so through the Public Education Hotline managed by the Utah State Board of Education’s Internal Audit Department. This hotline is designed to ensure transparency, accountability, and proper handling of reports within Utah’s public education system. Complaints or concerns can be filed by following the process as outlined in our Hotline Complaint Policy. Hotline complaints go directly to the State Board of Education Internal Audit Department and may be referred back to the LEA.


Each student’s records may be considered “no longer needed to provide educational services” and may be destroyed three years after the student completes or transfers from Hawthorn Academy or three years after the student turns 22 under the IDEA.  Medicaid requires that records be maintained for at least five years after the provision of services. 

The RISE test is Utah's standardized state assessment, and replaces the SAGE test. The RISE is administered to Utah students in grades 3-8, and 9th graders take the Utah Aspire Plus test. Our students also take the RISE benchmark and interim tests during the school year. 

Please fill out the middle school form or the elementary form and return it to your campus principal to opt your student out of the 2025-2026 RISE or Utah Aspire Plus testing.
