Dear Hanshew Families, 

It's finally feeling a little bit like Spring in Achorage with the weather being 40-50 degrees some days. As we approach the 4th quarter, please ask your students to finish the week before Spring Break strong academically and behaviorally! 

Thursday, March 6th is an assembly schedule. Students will be rewarded by the PBIS team with fun engagement activities. There is no school for students on Friday, March 7th. Teachers will be working on grades, assessments, and planning. Parents will be able to view grades in Q parentconnect on Tuesday, March 18th.

There is no school during Spring Break- March 10-14, 2025. Students are not expected to complete any assignments or projects since we follow the middle school model and grades reset each quarter. If you have concerns or need to discuss your student's progress in middle school, please give us a call or email. We are able to set up meetings with your student's team of teachers or individual teachers by request. 

This month we are celebrating Women's History Month and National Irish American Heritage Month. Join us in celebrating the many acomplishments and contributions of Women and Irish Americans in America. 

We are completing transition meetings and course requests this week. The 8th graders will meet with the high school counselors and tour Service HS on March 4th and 5th. Please ensure that all permission slips have been signed and turned in.

As always, thank you for your support, patience, and understanding this school year! Thank you for also entrusting us with the education and care of your students, we appreciate you!

Sincerely, 

Dr. Lakhita Hodge

Hanshew Middle School Principal
