Schewe Speech

Happy Sunday Hanna Woods Family!

I hope this newsletter finds you well and in good spirits. I am writing to share some incredibly exciting news with all of you – my family is growing, and we are expecting our first baby in early June! It brings me immense joy to announce that we will be welcoming a baby boy into the Schewe family. This journey into parenthood is an adventure that my husband and I eagerly look forward to, and we are overjoyed with anticipation.

As we embark on this new adventure, I look forward to sharing the joy of parenthood with all of you. I have been so blessed to have learned so much about parenting from each of you. Thank you for being a part of our extended Hanna Woods family, and I can't wait to introduce our little one to the amazing community we have here.

Wishing you all continued success and happiness.

2024-2025 Parent Feedback

It amazes me that we are into February and already starting to think about the 2024-2025 school year! First and foremost, it is essential that we know if your child will be attending Hanna Woods for the 2024-2025 school year. This information gives us an accurate number that directly impacts our staffing.

Second, as we begin to think about placement for your child, it is essential to hear your thoughts regarding what type of learner your child is. Placement each year is based on our collective knowledge regarding each child. Your child's current teacher, along with specialists and other building staff, will be working with administration to place students in classes for the upcoming school year.

If you have particular concerns for the placement of your child, please share those concerns on this form. Filling out the parent feedback form is 100% optional, but we do ask that you at least identify if your child is coming back to Hanna for the 2024 - 2025 school year.

Please note: we ask that you do not request specific teachers, but rather share what your child needs so we can use your input and our observations to place your child in the best classroom to meet his/her needs. REQUESTS FOR A SPECIFIC TEACHER WILL NOT BE HONORED.

Please complete the form by Friday, March 29th, 2024, at 3:30 pm.
