Notes from Mrs. Gassman and the PBIS Team
Freshman Impact will be held at Hanson High School on Wednesday, September 10, 2025, from 8:00 AM – 3:00 PM. This is an important event designed to provide our freshmen with valuable learning experiences and opportunities for growth. Students will be bringing home permission slips today if parents did not sign them at Freshmen Orientation. Please review, sign, and return the permission slip to Mrs. Gassman by Wednesday, August 27 before Labor Day weekend.

The SC PBIS team is excited to expand its efforts this year by introducing the SOAR program. SOAR is an intervention-based program designed to provide additional support for students who may need it. Students may qualify for SOAR based on a variety of factors, including attendance concerns, academic struggles, behavioral challenges, or office referrals. 

You can learn more about the SOAR program in the attached flier. If you do not want your child to participate in SOAR should they be referred and qualify, please complete the opt-out section and return it by Wednesday, August 27th. If your child has qualified, you will receive an email from one of our SOAR coordinators. 

Forms have been sent home with all PreK-12 students. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about the SOAR program.
