Hancock Families — We Need Your Voice!
If you have not already, please take a moment to complete our Community Schools Needs & Assets Assessment. Our goal is to hear from 100% of families, and your feedback helps us bring the resources and support our students need to succeed. This short 15-question survey takes just a few minutes and directly shapes the programs, services, and opportunities we offer at Hancock. Please complete the survey here: https://forms.gle/Q6wttkHZvNhsjjZr7
Next Core Academy Session - Sat Dec 6 📔🏫✅

Register your student before Wed 12/3 by filling out this form.
December Give Back Friday 12/5
This Friday will be our next opportunity to “give back” to our teachers and staff. If you have an hour or more to donate during the school day, please plan to visit our Eagles Nest (Rm 702) any time between 8:00-2:00 on Friday Dec.5th to see what projects could use your help. Typically this is anything from cutting shapes to assembling math workbooks. You do not need to be a cleared volunteer since you will not have any interaction with students. If you have a young child you are caring for and would like to bring them, there is a play area in the room to keep them busy while you work. Please contact Ms. Abi ([email protected]) with any questions. Please follow protocols for visitors by checking into the office when you arrive. Flyer
