💙 Happy Retirement, Ms. Larisa Shaw! 💙

Throughout her career, Ms. Shaw has been an outstanding educator, a strong leader, and a compassionate mentor. She approached every situation with grace, kindness, and a genuine heart for helping others.

Good afternoon, H Nation!
We know there is water on some roads throughout the county following the recent weather. At this time, Hancock County School District still plans to have school on Tuesday, May 26, at normal scheduled times.
However, if buses are unable to safely travel down your road or families are unable to safely leave their homes, student absences will be excused.
We are continuing to monitor conditions closely and will share any updates through ParentSquare and social media if needed. Please stay safe!

Please see the attached image for Awards Day times for each grade level.
Parents, if you plan to check your child out after the ceremony, you may do so once the awards program has ended. Parents/guardians will need to have their ID with them in order to check out a student.
To help dismissal go as smoothly and quickly as possible, students do not need to bring their book bags to school that day—especially if they will be checking out afterward.
We look forward to celebrating all of our Wildcats and their accomplishments this school year! 💙
