Message from your Principal:
Dear Hanshew Families,
Thank you for a great start to the first 6 weeks of the school year! October is National Bullying Prevention Month and we are going to celebrate and encourage the idea of Stomping out Bullying in a big way at Hanshew. Every Monday, we are asking students and staff to wear the color blue. Prizes will be drawn for students who are wearing blue. Our kickoff celebration will begin with an assembly on Wednesday, October 6th at 2:00pm with 2 dynamic guest speakers: SRO John Butler and former NFL player and Anchorage's current Chief Equity Officer- Uluao (Junior) Aumavae. We will be on an assembly schedule on October 6th, so please check the bell schedule. Please see the Hanshew website for other fun activities and events.
October 21st is the end of the 1st quarter. There is no school for students on that day. Grades will be viewable to parents on Parent Connect in Q on October 25th. Parent Teacher Conferences will be held on Oct. 26 from 12:15-3:00pm and 4-7pm and on Oct 27th from 12:15-3:00pm. Please see the bell schedule for that week. There is no sign up schedule, so please come when you are available!
There is no school for students on Friday, October 28th. Also, November 8th is an asynchronous day for students to remain at home and complete assignments in Canvas online. Only staff will be in the building completing trainings and other professional responsibilities.
Lastly, as it gets colder outside, we want to encourage students to dress warmer. Students will not be allowed to wear slides, crocs, flip flops, Birkenstocks, sandals, and other similar shoes during the 2nd and 3rd quarters (Oct. 24-March 10) due to safety concerns.
As always, thank you for your support, patience, and understanding this school year! Thank you for also entrusting us with your children, we appreciate you!
Sincerely,
Dr. Lakhita Hodge
Hanshew Middle School Principal

As we enter October, I have a few reminders:
Student Drop-off/Pick-up: Please do not drop-off students until 7:15am, we do not have staff available to monitor and we do have wildlife in the area if students are outside.
Lockers: If students lose their lock, there will be a $10 replacement fee. Remind your student to lock their locker after every use. Hanshew cannot be responsible if locks are not locked.
Hallway Expectations: Reminder to follow our Hallway Expectations by keeping hands and body to self, voice level 2 (conversation level), stay to the right, and no grouping.
Dress Code: We are getting to cooler weather, please dress appropriately. Beginning October 24, 2022 due to colder weather students will no longer be able to wear slides, open toed shoes or crocs.
Cell Phone / Electronic Devices : Students using their cell phone, ear buds, and/or electronic device during school hours 8:15am-2:45pm will have to turn their phone into the office and family will need to pick up the before 3:30pm the first time. If students need to call a parent they can come to the Office to make the call. Parents, if you need to contact your student please call through the front Office.
Sports: We are wrapping up a great Cross Country and Girls Basketball season! Next up, Wrestling and Volleyball. All paperwork must be in by October 17, 2022.
Come watch the GBB Jamboree October 8th at Hanshew, but remember students must be accompanied by a parent/guardian who will supervise them. Students cannot be dropped off. Show your school spirit and dress in Red and Black.
