Before School Run Club Starts Mon 8/31🏃👟🎽
We are excited to announce that our before-school Run Club will be starting soon! No sign-ups are required, but students must follow the same behavior expectations as during the school day. Students must actively participate (run or walk) to be part of Run Club. Run Club (RC) is a privilege and may be revoked if behavior is an issue. RC meets every Monday and Tuesday from 7:25 a.m. until just before the first bell. Students who eat breakfast at school must eat first and then be dismissed from the cafeteria to RC. For students who do not eat breakfast at school, the small gate by our electronic marquee will open once at 7:25 for any students waiting to come in to run. Parents are welcome and encouraged to come run with their children. Extra hands managing lap cards and eyes supervising are definitely appreciated. - Flyer

Morning Office Hours
Hancock’s office staff is always happy to help parents and visitors in our front office. We do ask that you help us to serve students first! Our mornings are especially busy when students first arrive and for about 15 minutes after the bell rings. Our priority is getting students checked in and safely to their classrooms. Please allow us grace to accomplish this and avoid coming into the office between 7:45 - 8:15. We appreciate your cooperation.

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 Board 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 as permitted by CA Ed Code (illness, medical or dental appointments, funeral services, certain military-connected activities, etc.), it will automatically be changed to an unexcused absence. Please be sure to report the absence and the reason to the office every time. You can do this 24/7 either online or by phone @ 619-605-3200 Option 1. Our teachers cannot excuse absences, so be sure to only report absences to the front office.
