Transcript of the video

Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to our last family update for the 2025-2026 school year.  We will hold our graduation ceremony for the Hanscom School class of 2026 next Wednesday evening at 5:00. Please join me in congratulating our graduates and their families as you see them over the course of the week.

Thursday, June 18 will be our last day of school and dismissal will be at 12:35. For those of you who will be PCSing we are going to miss you and we hope that you stay in touch and keep us updated.  If you need any help as you transition into your new school please reach out to our school office or Erin Law our School and Family Liaison and Transition Specialist. For those of you who will be returning to our school in the fall, we will be happy to welcome you back.  

We’ve had a very successful school year filled with rich academic opportunities and engaging activities for all of our students Kindergarten through 8th grade, I hope that our weekly family updates have been successful in sharing that information as the year unfolded.  

We look forward to seeing all of you and sharing more information about the 2026-2027 school year in late August.  In the meantime, I hope you have a safe and wonderful summer and please remember that our school’s library will be open on Tuesdays from 10:00 am -1:00 pm  from June 23rd  through August 25th.  Thank you for a great year and have a wonderful summer.

Warm Regards,

Mr. Ledebuhr
