Hansen Weekly Update
June 19, 2020
Hello Hansen Students and Families!
This will be the final Hansen Weekly Update for the 2019-20 school year, and what a year it was! May the upcoming summer vacation provide each of our students and families with chances to relax, unwind, and enjoy time with those closest to you!
Families, thank you for your commitment and energy throughout the school year, especially during the past few months of remote learning. Even though we have been physically apart, the connections between home and school feel stronger than ever. Thank you!
Students, we look forward to seeing you in the Fall! For those students moving on to other schools, we wish you nothing but the very best....and for our 5th graders that will be moving on to Middle School, we will see on Monday for your Clap-Out!
5th Grade Clap-Out is Monday!
The 5th Grade Clap-Out is an important Hansen tradition, and we are so excited that we are able to have this experience for our students this year. Although it will look a bit different, it will be wonderful for our school community to have this one final moment together with our 5th graders! Here are the details...
- The Rolling-Clap Out will take place on Monday, June 22 at 11:00 a.m. on the Hansen School property.
- Students are invited to attend with their family, in their vehicles. We kindly ask that students and families remain in their vehicles while on property.
- Families should arrive at the Hansen at 10:30 a.m., pulling into the faculty parking lot on the right side of the building. Staff will be present to direct you where to park, while we 'stage' the vehicles.
- At 11:00 a.m., Elementary School Resource Officer, Officer Tim, will lead our families in a slow, driven, loop around the back of the Hansen School, on to the black-top area by the front playground, and back out on to Pecunit St. This will take just a few minutes to complete.
- Hansen Staff will be present to cheer and celebrate our students and families while they 'roll by', as we clap them out and celebrate the completion of their elementary school journey. Staff will maintain appropriate social distance and will wear face coverings.
- Students and families are welcome to decorate their vehicles, showing their Hansen/Canton pride!
Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions, and we look forward to celebrating our 5th Grade students on Monday, June 22!
* Please note this event is for Grade 5 students and families and Hansen Staff only*
Chromebook Drop-Off
As the school year is coming to a close, I want to provide you with the details for the upcoming student loaner Chromebook collection. This collection is for any Chromebook that was loaned to students for either the school closure/remote learning deployment or the Canton High School Bring Your Own Device (BYOD) program. I sincerely hope that access to a device provided support to your child during this school year and specifically during school closure.
We have scheduled the return dates for the loaned devices as follows:
Tuesday, June 23rd 12 pm - 2 pm
Wednesday, June 24th 10 am - 12 pm
Thursday, June 25th 8 am - 10 am
The collection will take place at Canton High School and we will be using a similar format for collection as we did for distribution.
Pull into the main loop at Canton High School (entrance by the tennis courts). Place a sign in the passenger window with the name(s) of each of your children that borrowed a Chromebook. Please have the Chromebook(s) AND charger(s) accessible in your trunk. A staff member will retrieve it upon your arrival.
All borrowed Chromebooks and chargers must be returned to Canton Public Schools on one of the collection dates listed above.
Lastly, I would like to publicly thank the Technology and Digital Learning Team for all their hard work. They prepared and deployed over 550 Chromebooks to our students and offered support to students and families, as well as staff, during these last few months. I am incredibly proud to work with such an amazing group of staff members committed to supporting our school community.
If you have any questions, please reach out to our staff at cpstechhelp@cantonma.org.
Thank you and have a wonderful summer!
Best,
Julie Shore
Director of Technology and Digital Learning
