From Our Principal
Dear Hanmer Families,
Looking at our calendar for May, it's clear that this will be a busy month! In addition to the increased activity, you may have with sports and other outside activities starting again, there are many school-related activities coming up including field trips, our spring concert, field day and PTO events. Please be sure to review the calendar carefully so you don't miss any of these. Also, please be sure to check your child's backpack for the notices that teachers and the PTO send home to keep you informed.
This month, students in grades 3-6 will take the SBAC assessments in language arts and math. Over the last several weeks, students have taken the practice tests and become familiar once more with both the format and use of technology for these assessments.
Students will take the language arts tests between May 9-11 and the math assessments on May 16, 17 & 18. If you have any questions or thoughts to share as we move through the testing window, please don't hesitate to contact me.
As you heard from our Superintendent, Michael Emmett, the Board of Education has appointed the next principal for Hanmer School.
Ms. Pauline Greer will come on board when I retire on July 1st. I worked with Ms. Greer when she worked in Wethersfield previously and I'm thrilled that she's been chosen for this position. I'm confident that she'll do an outstanding job and I truly believe you'll find her to be an excellent fit for Hanmer. I'll send out information this month about some opportunities for you to meet Ms. Greer and welcome her to Hanmer School.
As we head toward the end of the school year, I want to thank all of you for everything you do to support our school. I've told Ms. Greer that she is about to become a part of an amazing school community with tremendous parent support!
Enjoy the longer days and warmer weather!
Sincerely,
Margaret Zacchei
Principal
