Hamilton Middle School Early Release Day

Posted

September 7th, 2022

Dear Hamilton Middle School Community,

It is our priority to keep you informed of incidents related to student safety. Due to the anticipated high temperatures on September 8th, we have decided to send students home at 12:30 p.m. tomorrow. This is being done for the safety of our students and staff. 

When temperatures rise to these levels, heat exhaustion is always a possibility, whether students are outside or in a building that isn’t air conditioned. Here are some signs of heat exhaustion.

  • Cool, moist skin with goosebumps when in the heat
  • Heavy sweating
  • Faintness
  • Dizziness
  • Fatigue
  • Weak, rapid pulse
  • Low blood pressure upon standing
  • Muscle cramps
  • Nausea
  • Headache

While these signs do not automatically indicate a trip to a doctor, the person should rest in a shady area or in an air conditioned building, drink cool fluids such as water or sports drinks, and take a cool shower, if possible, or put towels soaked in cool water on their skin.

We would like to assure you that the safety and well-being of our students are our number one priority. The forecast is for temperatures to drop back to manageable temperatures by Friday and we expect to return to our normal schedule at that time.

Fall Photos are rescheduled for Friday, September 23rd.  Our free breakfast options will still be served from 8:20 am to 8:45 am.  Grab and Go lunch options will be available for pick up in the cafeteria at dismissal. 

 As always, please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Fernanda Dillon

Principal
