Hansen Elementary School
August Newsletter
Officially Back to School
Students have settled in and have completed a full week of school. Teachers have begun assessments to identify individual student needs. They will use this valuable data to form small groups, look for gaps in learning, and provide enrichment and extension activities. Middle School elective classes and TK-8 Genius Hour are beginning as well. We look forward to sharing highlights and special projects with you.

Students created art for the upstairs hallway by creating a small piece of a larger arrangement.
