Hansen Elementary partners with the Northeast Iowa Food Bank's "Backpack Program," which provides non-perishable food items to be sent home with students over the weekends. If you would like to sign up for these services, please email or call Mr. Gjersvik. (david.gjersvik@cfschools.org; 319.553.2793)
Hansen Elementary partners with Blackhawk-Grundy Mental Health Center to provide school-based mental health counseling for students in need of additional mental health support. Our school-based therapist is at Hansen every Monday and sees students throughout the school day. If you are interested in having your child receive services with the school-based mental health counselor, please email or call Mr. Gjersvik. (david.gjersvik@cfschools.org; 319.553.2793)
Some problems that students face are beyond the scope of the professional school counselor. However, school counselors actively work to connect students and families with services in the community by making referrals. Call or email Mr. Gjersvik about available programs and resources that may benefit your family.
