Welcome Hamilton Families and Community! This is Ms. Ana Mendoza. I am honored to be your interim principal this year while we begin the search for your new leader at Hamilton. Please watch for weekly messages from me on our website under “Mendoza’s Message” . Feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have as we start on this journey together. 720-423-9502 Ana_Mendoza@dpsk12.org
Parent / Guardian please pull into the circle drive to start the registration process. (You will not get out of your vehicle). We will bring the paperwork to you and you will park in the parking lot to fill out the paperwork (street parking is also available if needed) When completed, please drive around to the circle drive to drop off completed paperwork.
For the safety of all staff and parent/guardian take note of the following:
First day of school is Monday, August 23, 2021. The tardy bell rings at 9:05am and school dismisses at 4:05pm.
Students may be dropped off behind the school near the basketball court on Dartmouth Ave. Parents should not pull into the teacher parking lot in the back but should park along Willow Street for drop off and pick up. Walkers may enter near the gate on Dartmouth Avenue behind the school. Busses will drop off students in the front circle loop.
Note: Hamilton does not have a cross guard on duty. For the safety of all students, please have your child use the cross walks along Willow street to cross the street. Running across the middle of the street is not allowed and very dangerous. Thank you for helping us help your children safe.
Dear Families, your scholars should already have received a school-issued Chromebook and charger last year. If they are new to the district or need a new Chromebook due to damage, they will receive one on the first or second day of school. You MUST fill out this form so that we are able to prepare accordingly for our scholars to make sure we have what we need on hand for all scholars to be successful. Please have your scholar notify their teacher if they need a new Chromebook.
