Great First Day of School!

I think all students had a great day!  We learned a little about each other and we worked as a team to reach a goal!  Great first day fifth graders!

Students were asked to show you the grade 5 blog and to show you the new Hancock Grammar School's website!  They should also be able to show you the student handbook! There is a great deal of information for parents in the handbook.


Fifth grade students can also take part in cross country this year!  I will be giving students forms to take home if they want to join. Practice has started today, but it is not too late to join.  They will also need a physical before then can start running.

Open House

Open house is September 16 at 6:30. We hope to see you all then!
