VOYAGER CAMP: Great Opportunity for Hamilton Students!
We have established a partnership with the Los Angeles Marine Institute ( a 5013C) to provide Hamilton students an opportunity to participate in a 12 DAY VOYAGER CAMP from Aug 8 – Aug. 19 2022 in beautiful Southern California – Space is limited. Scholarship recipients will spend the summer on the beautiful Southern California coast in a way that most people never experience! While at sea and on the island, they will explore topics in marine biology, maritime history, island ecology and have some fun with traditional maritime arts! Check out this presentation created by a former Tall Ship Camper.
Due to the short notice, scholarships are limited to the cost of the program and families MUST be able to pay for the cost of travel to and from California. If you are interested, please visit the 12 DAY VOYAGER CAMP website to register.

Staying Safe and Healthy
We have automatic no-touch drinking fountains for students to fill their water bottles. Students are not allowed to drink water directly from the water fountain. Please make sure students bring a water bottle to school every day.
Students must bring a mask to school and wear it properly, covering their mouth and nose. If a student is not wearing their mask properly, we will call parents/guardians to support us and pick them up from school if the behavior continues. Please help us at home by talking to your student about proper mask usage and by providing them with a mask that fits comfortably.

Students use the Chromebooks assigned to them every day in class and we need your partnership. It is the student’s responsibility to charge their Chromebook each night and to take good care of the device. When a student loses their Chromebook, a 280 dollars replacement fee will be added to their account. The fee will need to be paid by the family before a new device is checked out to the student. Please contact wesley_akers@dpsk12.net if you have questions about devices.
