Hamilton Drop-off/Pick-Up

School starts at 9:05 and we dismiss at 4:05. We do not have supervision available for your child prior to 8:45. Please DO NOT drop your child off prior to that time . Because we value the safety of our students and community we ask that you follow the drop off and pick up procedures listed below: 

  • The front of the school is reserved for emergencies, visitors to the front office and buses/transportation only.
  • Drop-off and pick-up are at the northside of school building near the basketball courts along Dartmouth ONLY. 
  • At drop off quickly say goodbye to your child and move along so others can drop and go. 
  • At pick-up you may park safely  and wait for your child. After you child arrives pull out of the lane safely to allow others to  . 
  • If there is no space available and you drop-off and pick-up up across the street or other side streets in the neighborhood, we ask that you insist your child USE THE CROSS WALKS instead of darting between parked cars and traffic. 
  • At this time we do not have enough crossing guards to cover all streets.(We would be happy to train any volunteers to assist us  if you are interested)
  • IN ADDITION, STARTING ON MONDAY AUGUST 30TH,  PARENTS OF 6TH GRADERS ONLY MAY PICK-UP  ON THE STREET IN FRONT OF HOLM ELEMENTARY. 

Registration for Fall Sports

Registration  for early fall sports (boys soccer, cross country, & softball) is open. Registration links can be found on the Hamilton Website Athletics page

All early fall sports will have tryouts on August 31st and September 1st from 4:15pm – 5:15pm. ALL athletes must register and have an updated & signed physical, BEFORE they are allowed to try out. We will not accept online physicals. Students must bring a hard copy to the front office or to the coach on the first day of tryouts. If your child has any circumstances that might cause them to miss practices, please contact their coach directly.

If you have any questions please contact, Coach Elmore, Athletic Director Victoria_Elmore@dpsk12.org


Back to School Night

Back to School Night will be virtual on Tuesday, August 31, 2021. All in-person Hamilton events are postponed for now. Keep a look out for an email next week with links to teacher videos and our Q & A session from 5:30pm-6:30pm. The Hamilton Team is looking forward to meeting you.


Technology Update 

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.
