Communication - How Hancock can support your child and you.

a.     The Hancock Elementary School is committed to support the education of every student, providing up to date information and student/parent support.  We urge students and parents to stay informed and to report concerns to the school.  The Hancock Elementary School website at www.philasd.org/schools/hancock/ provides extensive up-to-date information regarding the programs and policies of the Hancock School. 

b.     In order to make certain that all student/parent concerns are acknowledged, we request that all students/parents utilize the following lines of communication.

                                     i.     Student concerns should be directed to the person (teacher or aide) who is on duty or responsible for the group or activity. 

                                   ii.     If the teacher or aide is not available, please seek support from the school counselor.  The Hancock School Counselor, Ms. White can be contacted directly at 215-281-2662.

                                 iii.     The School Nurse is available on Mondays, Tuesdays at 215-281-2664.

                                   iv.     In the event that further administrative support is necessary, please contact the Hancock Main Office at 215-281-2604.  Mr. Griffin, the School Principal, is also available via email at bgriffin@philasd.org.

Communication is key to the educational process. This year we will continue to utilize the Hancock Correspondence Folder.  Each Tuesday all important documentation will be sent home in this folder for your review.   We request that parents review all documentation, then indicate that they have reviewed the documentation by signing the back of the folder and returning the signed folder to school each Wednesday. 

Classroom Observations

We are a demonstration school where teachers employ Best Practices across the content areas.  If you are an area teacher and would like to request an observation day, please complete this form. Thank you.
