How Are Donations Used?
Your tax deductible donation helps ensure that we continue to provide a first-class education for our students. Find out how your donations provide invaluable educational experiences for our students.
Technology
Staying current on new technology is very expensive. Last year the PTO fundraiser allowed us to buy document cameras for classrooms and a subscription to BrainPop when the school went remote last spring.
Field Trips
We want to provide our students opportunities to attend field trips. Field trips provide students valuable life experiences. This year, the PTO has already approved requests for two field trips.
Orchestra
JHCS provides strings instruction to all K-6th grade students. This is a very expensive program requiring purchasing and repairing violins, violas, cellos and bass instruments. It also requires purchasing music and renting facilities for our performances. The music program is the single largest recipient of PTO donation funds. Last year, PTO funds bought more violins for our orchestra, new storage for our instruments and provided for instrument upkeep.
Reading Month
For a whole month in the school year, we celebrate reading and encourage students to read even more than they already do. The past few years our school has transformed into Hogwarts as grades compete against each other to read the most, thanks to hard work from our PTO members and donation funds.
Teacher Appreciation Week
Our teachers are rated the best in the area, and we love them! Throughout the year, the Teacher Appreciation Committee helps us acknowledge all the hard work put in by the teachers and staff of JHCS.
Art and P.E.
PTO funds help provide supplies for our art classes and P.E.
Additional uses for donations to the school:
STEM
We want to focus on the science, technology, engineering and math as these subjects are in demand in our current work place. We are hoping to provide our students with an engineering curriculum which will require materials and teacher training.
New Facility
We are actively seeking donations to help us build a new building! We offer a great education but a new facility will provide us with further options we currently do not have.
Character Education/Patriotism
We pride ourselves in preparing our students for life outside of the school walls. We teach our students about patriotism and the importance of being a good citizen. We also teach problem solving and social skills so they succeed in life.
You can also purchase supplies and donate them to the school. General school supplies can be found on Amazon under John Hancock Charter School.
Thank you for your generous donations that make all of this possible.
Testimonials
We were first exposed to John Handcock Charter School when we moved here 6 years ago my Stepmother in law, she raved about this school as her children had gone here. We applied and were fortunate enough to get into our first year. We have been so impressed since that point. JHCS thinks of kids first. They pay attention to what each individual student needs. They pay attention to their academic needs and use math coursework that better prepares students for higher education. They use music, and art to produce a better well-rounded student. It has been proven time and time again that having music and art is just as important as other education. When the pandemic hit we were blown away by the method in which they handled themselves. Each student had completed assignments and daily teaching by the teachers not just handed a chrome book and said good luck. JHCS focuses on getting and maintaining phenomenal teachers. From Kindergarten on every teacher we have had is amazing. JHCS keeps recess this is so big in a world where kids need movement along with education they do not sacrifice exercise instead they incorporate it and use it. They work to teach students in a way that makes them excited to go to school. The teachers are frequently communicating what is going on with my individual students, and what is going on in the school overall. My older children that have graduated from JHCS have lifelong friendships that have continued despite going to a different school because JHCS encourages kindness. They also focus on mental health to help students progress and move forward. They are truly learning lifelong healthy skills.
I have had kids at John Hancock Charter School for 12 years now, and I have been consistently impressed with the high levels of caring and dedication from everyone there. The teachers truly care about the kids in their classes and ensuring their success. The small size creates a real feeling of family at the school, and my kids feel like they know their teachers before they even step into their classrooms.
The curriculum at John Hancock goes well beyond reading and math. My kids are conversant with ancient and modern history, principles of science, art history, and even music.
John Hancock is a school that has high expectations for kids, and then gives them the tools to meet those expectations.
John Hancock Charter School has been the best school for my kids! This is the eighth year I've been at JHCS and I can say that no other elementary school- charter or not- can provide a better experience, a better team of teachers and staff members, a better curriculum for their students, or a better environment to learn in. Those who are lucky enough to get into John Hancock Charter School feel as if they are part of one big family. The director and Principal of the school- for fifteen years now- has done an outstanding job making John Hancock Charter School one of the best schools in all of Utah!
I love John Hancock Charter School. They have amazing teachers and staff, small class sizes, and really inspire a love for learning. While not the most aesthetically pleasing campus, they use all resources and money to go directly back to help the students which is obviously most important.
Joining JHCS has been one of the best decisions my husband and I have made for our children. They are receiving a top notch education and are growing and flourishing in their schoolwork. What doesn’t show up in their test scores are the extras that make JHCS stellar. The emphasis on a growth mindset and the encouragement to learn beyond the classroom will help them throughout their entire lives.
