Attendance
Attendance is very important at Hancock Elementary School. Students must have an attendance rate of 90% for the school year to not be in danger of retention. Yes, attendance is considered for being promoted to the next grade level per state law.
When a student is absent it is important to:
- Take a doctor's note to the attendance office within 5 days of their absence.
- Take a parent note to the attendance office within 3 days of their absence.
Please email Ms. Rodriguez at alexcia.rodriguez@cfisd.net for attendance questions.

Birthday Options
Birthdays are celebrated at Hancock during lunch.
We celebrate your child's birthday at Hancock by:
- Wishing them a Happy Birthday over the announcements. You should hear the cheering and clapping around the campus. It is so sweet.
- We allow the birthday student to come to my office to select a birthday book.
- We celebrate weekend and summer birthdays too.
- Teachers may choose a different way to celebrate the birthday student in their class.
- Goody bags-(NOT REQUIRED) that are brought to campus will be passed out to students at the end of the day. We ask that the items be safe for all children. Please check with your child's teacher for an updated class count.
If you would like to purchase the items for your child and their class, please talk to the cafeteria manager: Marisol Rodriguez at 281-897-4523. She will be happy to set you up on the day of your choosing.
