Hancock Families 💜
Recent developments in the Middle East may be bringing up a range of emotions for many in our military community. From worry and uncertainty to pride and resilience; all of these feelings are valid. At Hancock Elementary, we recognize that many of our students and families are navigating deployments, extended duties, or time away from loved ones. During moments like these, connection and community matter more than ever. Please know that we are holding space for our families and are here to support you in any way we can. We have compiled a list of resources for Navy and Marine Corps families, including support services, counseling, and local community organizations. 🔗 You can access the resource list here: Family Resources If your family would benefit from additional support, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Our team is here to help connect you with resources and ensure our students feel supported at school.
With care, The Hancock Team

Drop-Off Lane Reminder
As new families begin to use the drop-off lane, we want to remind everyone that student safety is a collective responsibility. Please keep the following in mind to keep our mornings running smoothly:
-
Allow yourself plenty of time so there is no need for excessive speed.
-
Wait for a signal from the parking lot staff before turning left into the drop-off lane. Once in the lane, pull all the way forward (close to the 2nd speed bump).
-
For their safety, students should only exit from the passenger side onto the sidewalk.
-
Students should be ready to exit the vehicle immediately so we do not impede the flow of traffic.
-
Only let students out in the right lane against the sidewalk. Students should not be let out of the car in the drive lanes.
Yearbook Feature for 5th Grade📘📸🎓
We will be featuring a section in this year’s yearbook with baby photos of our 5th grade students' adorable baby selves. If you would like to share a baby photo of your 5th grader, please send it with the student’s full name to Mrs. Reanna at [email protected]. A reminder that all 5th graders will be receiving a free yearbook this year, complements of our 2025-2026 Safety Patrol.

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.
