Last year was the first year the Hanscom School transitioned from a separate Hanscom Primary and Middle School to a Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary (DESE) recognized K-8 school. Our School Improvement Plan for the 2024-2025 school year consists of three goals as we continue our work supporting our K-8 students.
- Continue to build the structures of a comprehensive K-8 school that will best meet the needs of our unique student and parent population.
- Support faculty and staff in curriculum and planning development to better meet the needs of all students.
- Review and adapt our student support structure to better meet the ever changing needs of our students and families.
Additionally, we are also piloting a looping model across our school in an effort to
increase student achievement, maximized instructional time, and enhance teacher, student, and parent relationships. We feel that this model will also be a benefit to the transient nature of our military families by providing some stability during their time at the Hanscom School.
The faculty and staff of the Hanscom School are honored to partner with DoDEA and Hanscom Air Force Base to continue to serve our students and military families.
Applicants selected will be subject to a security background investigation and must meet and maintain eligibility and suitability requirements.
People of color are strongly encouraged to apply.
