Welcome to Hancock!

Dear Parents/Guardians,

Welcome to Hancock Elementary School where everyone is dedicated to helping all students become critical thinkers, active problem-solvers, inquisitive readers, and proficient writers by the time they leave us to go to middle school.

We want your child to be happy and successful while attending Hancock Elementary, so in order to achieve this, we need your help. School/Parent communication is crucial. Our instructional program will be far more effective with your active participation. By working together, we will have an amazing year filled with learning, lifelong relationships, and the joys of success and accomplishments.

To further ensure a successful school year, I ask that you please do the following:

Make your child's daily school attendance a priority

Student Day is 8:55 a.m. - 3:25 p.m.

Do your best to make all appointments for your child after the school day

Expect homework Monday through Thursday

Have your child read for at least 15 minutes every night

Practice basic math facts with your child every night (Flashcards are great)

Return all requested forms and documents to school in a timely manner

Hancock is a School-wide Title I school that strives to develop Family-School-Community partnerships. Parents are a part of the decision-making process for the use of Title I funds to improve the education of the children in our school. It is very important that parents and staff are equal partners empowered to be advocates for all children. Please join our Parent Faculty Club (PFC). We meet the second Monday of each month from 6:30-7:30 pm in our library. Child Care is provided.

I look forward to working closely with you to ensure that your child is successful!

"Success Is Not An Option....But An Expectation!"

Sincerely,

Mrs. Sondra Stoczko

Proud Principal
