State Testing Continues for 5th Grade
The annual CA SBA testing continues this week for 5th grade students. Please continue to ensure your student gets a good night sleep and a healthy breakfast.
Friday May 8 Deadline - Re-Registration for Next School Year
We need your help! Parents of currently enrolled students must log in to their PowerSchool Parent Portal and complete the new form named Student Registration for Next Year to let us know if your student will be returning to any SDUSD school next year for 2026-27. All returning families must complete the Student Registration for Next Year form by the end of day (11:59 p.m.) on Friday, May 8, 2026. Even if you are not returning to a SDUSD, please complete by indicating this to update our records. The more accurate records are now, the less likely we will need to make enrollment/class changes at the start of the new year. Thank you to all families who have completed this to assist our teachers in creating classes for next school year. See Detailed Instructions Here.
Dropping off at Hancock
To ensure the safety of all our students and to keep the Hancock drop-off line moving smoothly, we need your cooperation. We have noticed an increase in unsafe drop-off habits, specifically near the reserved parking spots.
Please adhere to the following guidelines:
-
Stay in the Zone: Do not allow students to exit the vehicle until you have reached the designated drop-off zone (marked by the cones).
-
Passenger Side Only: For their safety, students must exit the vehicle on the passenger side only. Exiting from the driver’s side into active traffic is extremely dangerous.
-
Pull Forward: Please pull all the way forward to the front of the line. This prevents traffic backups and allows more parents to drop off behind you.
-
Foster Independence: To keep the line moving, students should be ready to exit the vehicle on their own once you reach the zone.
The reserved parking area is not a drop-off point. Choosing to drop off early puts our students at risk and slows the morning down for everyone.
Thank you for your patience and for putting the safety of our Hancock community first.

Food will be distributed on a first-come, first-served basis, so arrive early. We kindly encourage families to bring a stroller, wagon, or sturdy bag to help carry items home.

Need to Report an Absence? 🤒
Communication with our Attendance Clerk, Ms Shauna, is important if your student is absent for any reason. Per San Diego Unified policy, if you do not report the reason for the absence to the office within 5 school days, even if it was for an excused reason (illness, medical or dental appointments, funeral services, military ceremonies, etc) it will automatically be changed to an unexcused absence. Please be sure to report the reason for the absence every time. You can do this 24/7 either online or by phone @ 619-605-3200 Option 1.
