Hard copies are sent home with students in their First Week packets. Copies can also be found in our main office.
Each year, we ask our families to update their students' data by completing the Annual Data Confirmation page. The Annual Data Confirmation provides us with updates health and emergency contact information for your student(s). In addition, you will be asked to provide permissions for such things as technology use and media release. You will also find a questionnaire regarding income.
Your information and responses help provide additional funding for our schools for students that qualify and all responses entered onto the income survey is kept strictly confidential. Clink the link below to access the QR codes for the Annual Data Confirmation.

On Wednesday, December 13th, ABC 10's, "If You Give a Child a Book: Story Time" event was held at Bancroft Elementary. Anchor Melissa Mecija visited our school and read to Ms. Cooper's 3rd grade class. All of her students were able to select five books to take home and keep! Watch the video to see the amazing event.
Bancroft Community School will educate each child to high standards of achievement through dynamic programs that respond to individual needs and create opportunities for success.
Before and after school, the area in front of the school marquee is designated as a student drop-off and pick-up area or "loading zone." This means cars may not park in this area between the hours of 7:45 am–8:30 am and 2:15–3:00 pm (1:00 pm–1:45 pm on Tuesdays). Cars may pull along this curb for student drop-off and pick-up but may not park during those specified times.
If you pick up your children after school, please meet them ONLY at the following places:
If you prefer to stay in your car, please use the car pick-up zone by the marquee. Just line up with the rest of the cars, and school staff will supervise your children until your car reaches the pick-up zone.
If you prefer to park on the lower dirt field when you pick up your child, PLEASE DO NOT tell your child to meet you down there. Please leave your car and meet your child on the playground near the Peace Circle. All students who are not bus riders, who are not in ESS, or who are not picked up in the car pick-up area in front of the school will be taken by their teachers to the playground near the Peace Circle. This is the spot where parents should pick up their children.
Please do not tell your children to meet you at any place except in the car pick-up zone or on the playground.
You can apply for the Federal Free/Reduced-Price Lunch Program ANY time during the school year. Lunch applications are always available in the school office. If your household size goes up, income goes down, if you start receiving Food Stamps, FIP, FDPIR or other benefits, or if there is a job loss you should consider re-applying.
Steps to take if you're concerned about your child at school:
We are excited about new technology applications at our school!
Each classroom now has a SmartBoard (interactive whiteboard). Our teachers are learning all the amazing things they can do to engage students in learning using the SmartBoards. This also enables the teacher to project a variety of things on the screen for the students to view. These SmartBoards take the place of old film and slide projectors, DVD players, VCRs, and even the big-screen televisions.
All of our teachers in grades 2-5 have audio systems that help the students hear the teacher better. The teacher wears a microphone, and a speaker is located in the back of the room. We have also ordered these systems for our kindergarten and first grade classes, so they will arrive soon. An additional microphone can be used by students when they make presentations to the class.
