Hancock Place School District

Hello Preschool Tiger Parents, This message is for parents of children who will be registering for Kindergarten for the 2025-26 school year! I highly recommend this opportunity for several reasons, some of which are on the shared flyer which I shared with you by email and posted on our Facebook and Website pages. Contact Mrs. Greenwood-Leveling with any questions; her contact information is on the flyer!

Fantastic time today at our BUNNY EGGSTRAVAGANZA this morning! Wonderful turnout and so many smiles and happiness! Parents were so appreciative and supportive! Thanks to Varsity H, Ms. Herman, Mrs. Branch, PAT parent educators team for their efforts! Also, thanks to Birthday Boss for the rental of their throne and additional props included! ❤️😊Dr. Dittrich

Hello District Resident Parents, See the attached and/or posted flyer for the registration link and QR code that you must complete if your child is returning to our preschool program or transitioning to our kindergarten program! Check your email or our Facebook or Website! We are planning to have 5 full day classrooms and 2 AM and PM half day programs. It is important to reserve your child's spot ASAP! We have been receiving completed registrations and are expecting many new registrations, so a waiting list may be needed.

We are READY for all of our attendees and representatives! Please do NOT miss this OUTSTANDING OPPORTUNITY! See you tomorrow at HPES from 10am to 1pm! https://2ndannualconnectionssummit2.sched.com/ 😊Dr. Dittrich & Dr. Yarbrough
