Hanlon Core Values
Welcome to the Paul R. Hanlon School, a K-5 elementary school where we strive to foster the best possible environment for teaching and learning. At Hanlon, we celebrate and honor the similarities and differences of individual students while building a learning community where children feel safe, known, and challenged. The Hanlon staff is committed to seeking continuous improvement, supporting high expectations, and providing challenging learning experiences that facilitate each child's cognitive, social, emotional, and physical growth. We value collaboration, perseverance, and risk-taking. We encourage all children to give their best, and to view their mistakes as learning experiences that build character and resiliency. Our core values guide how the Hanlon community learns, works, and plays together.

Dear Parents and Guardians,
On behalf of the Hanlon School community, I would like to welcome you and your family to what I hope will be another great year at Hanlon School. As summer comes to a close, I hope you are able to enjoy the last weeks of summertime fun. I’ll be honest: this summer has been challenging, but I feel really good about the work that went into planning to bring your children back to school next week. I hope that each of you were able to spend some time relaxing with loved ones and enjoying our beautiful New England weather.
This letter linked below will provide you with important information regarding the start of school, and important changes to the way things are done at Hanlon. The faculty and I are ready for a productive, fun, and safe new school year! It is very important that you read the letter from Superintendent Parks that was sent on September 1st, as it contains many important details related to mask requirements, technology, Aspen, transportation, lunch, etc. I have tried not to repeat too much of her letter to you, but have included a few key items. There is a lot to read and digest between her letter and mine, so I hope you’ll make time and review them during the first few weeks of school.
September letter from Mrs. Cronin- 9.8.20

My child has symptoms. What should I do?
If your child is exhibiting potential symptoms of COVID-19, do not send your child to school. Use the QR code on the WPS Daily Health Checklist or this link to report your child's symptoms. This will also generate an alert the WPS COVID-19 Monitoring and Response Team. Doing so will activate our internal protocols and will ensure that school nurses remain available to respond to typical school health issues. We appreciate in advance your cooperation with this important procedure. (All other non-COVID absences should be reported by emailing the homeroom teacher and the Main Office astaulo@westwood.k12.ma.us).
If you need to contact the Main Office for attendance/dismissal changes or if you have questions, email astaulo@westwood.k12.ma.us or call 781-326-7500 x8424
