Welcome to Hanna Ranch Elementary School.
"Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today." - Malcolm XHanna Ranch Elementary is a school dedicated to academic proficiency for all students. Our goal is to serve all of our students on a level that will challenge them and induce a creative approach to education that will serve them well as they continue their life-long learning path. Hanna Ranch is a school dedicated to building a strong character. We understand that for our students to succeed in life, they need to have the social skills to do so. At Hanna Ranch, we address all curriculum areas and utilize effective teaching strategies. We strive to maintain a safe, respectful environment and to provide our students with the tools they need to become independent, contributing, responsible individuals.
Hanna Ranch Anti-Racist Statement
At Hanna Ranch, we reaffirm our unwavering commitment to fostering an anti-racist culture. We stand for the unity of all races, religions, and cultures and reject any form of segregation. This includes racial and cultural epithets, comments, jokes, or gestures. We focus on building the capacity to counteract racism and empowering our students towards these goals. We are dedicated to fostering kindness and understanding among all our students, celebrating and respecting each other's differences. We are blessed with diversity, and as a community, we prioritize inclusivity. All members of the Hanna Ranch community, including students, staff, faculty, administration, and families, will continue to work on the tools and skills needed to empower everyone to enact change that will create equitable outcomes for all.
We encourage you to talk to your children about this at home, as home is the first place students learn values, knowledge, and culture. Let's make this an encompassing process so that our students move together in unity, not decay through discrimination, through being straightforward and not bystanders. We are fortunate and love all our students, and we all know that social acceptance and compassionate practices take a village to teach. Our children deserve nothing less!

Dear Hanna Ranch Families,
We are excited to welcome new and returning students for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year.I hope this message finds you well! As we look forward to the upcoming school year, I want to express how excited our staff is about the opportunities and growth that lie ahead for our students.
This year, we are also thrilled to introduce Instructional Partners as part of a grant written to enhance our curriculum. This partnership will enrich our academic offerings, support our social-emotional program, and increase parent involvement. We believe that these enhancements will provide a more holistic approach to education and create a stronger community connection, giving our students a more enriching and fulfilling learning experience.
We are so excited about kicking off another fantastic school year with all of you. We are thrilled to introduce our new kindergarten teacher, Ms. Taylor Lupetti, who brings a wealth of experience and enthusiasm to our school community. We can’t wait for you to meet her and see all the wonderful things she will bring to our kindergarten program!
We have a new Transitional Kindergarten (TK), Ms. Cassie. Ms. Cassie has been working in preschools and is very familiar with working with our youngest students.
Class lists will be posted the day before school starts. We understand that many families have preferences regarding teachers, and we want to assure you that our experienced staff has thoughtfully placed each student in classes where they will make the most progress. Our primary goal is to foster an environment where every child can thrive academically and socially.
Thank you for being part of our Hanna Ranch family. We look forward to a fantastic year ahead filled with growth, learning, and fun!
