The Hanna Ranch Cougar September, 2017
Welcome Back!
The Hanna Ranch staff would like to extend a big welcome back to all of our families and friends! We have planned several fun school wide activities, with a strong emphasis on the educational process.
We have added a couple of changes to assure we are reaching every student's capacity. First (not so new) is the morning stroll. Many businesses and cultures exercise before the day begins. By strolling around the yard a couple of times, students are 15% better prepared to learn. In addition, we closed off the courtyard and playground during instructional time. Please make sure that if you are waiting for a student, you do so in the waiting area (benches by the cafeteria). This allows for our upper grade students to continue to focus on the subject being taught. Thank you for your cooperation! Partners in education!

Dear Families,
I would like to report that Hanna Ranch is walking tall once again! We have made significant jumps in achievement, both academically and socially. This year we have developed a new Theory of Action to enhance school activities in a variety of ways:
Teaching and Learning:
We will increase engagement, the joy of learning, and maintain a safe environment to keep students in the learning zone
Student Culture and Climate
We will become an inclusive school culture dedicated to academic achievement and socioemotional growth
Adult Learning and Collaboration
As a school, we will work on building rapport with students, parents, and community through a series of events and activities (diversity dinners, potlucks, family nights and a carnival)!

Welcome to the PTA
Dear Families,
The Hanna Ranch Parent Teacher Association (PTA) is an important committee and vital component to the success we have at the school. The PTA supports the school financially and provides opportunities for fun and engaging events. They conduct the book fair, science night, movie night, potlucks and much more. I would like to encourage all parents who have spare time to lend a hand. Time is not the only way you can support the PTA. Simply by donating $20, you can become a general member of the PTA. All donations are taxed deductible and appreciated. This year we will be kicking off our annual membership drive at Back to School Night on September 7th. Thank you for your support!
