Five-minute Friday

Vol. 3, No. 1

Dear Students and Families,

On behalf of everyone at Hanover School District D28, I am delighted to welcome you back for the start of a new school year. Whether you're returning to familiar hallways or joining our community for the first time, we're thrilled to have you with us.

This year is an especially exciting one. I'm proud to announce the opening of Hanover Elementary School, a space designed with our youngest learners at its heart. From bright, modern classrooms to inviting shared spaces, it reflects our commitment to giving every child a strong and joyful start. We can't wait to open its doors and watch it fill with curiosity, laughter, and learning.

To our teachers and staff: thank you for the care and dedication you pour into our students every single day. And to our families: your partnership is the foundation of everything we accomplish together.

Here's to a wonderful year ahead—full of growth, discovery, and community.

Warm regards,

Mark McPherson

Superintendent
Hanover School District 28
