Happy Friday Hamilton Families!
We had a busy week this past week with our first interim assessment taking place on Wednesday. Below are some highlights and updates of what has been taking place at Hamilton!
We hosted our second House Celebration today with the winners of October, Reveur House! Reveur House Members got to have snacks and pick one of three spooky movies to watch in the afternoon. Thank you to those parents that came in and supported this celebration.
Congratulations to Ms. Shaw, our music teacher, who was a recipient of the DPS Foundation’s A to Z Grant for funds to support learning in her classroom. She also received the Evaluator’s Choice Award! Big shoutout to Ms. Shaw for all the work she does for Hamilton students.
Monday October 28th is an early release day at 1:00 PM. Our staff will be engaging in professional learning around mental health in the afternoon.
Friday November 1st there is no school for Staff Professional Learning. We will be scoring and analyzing the data from the first interim assessment.
Your Voice/Tu Voz Survey. If you have not completed the Your Voice/Tu Voz survey, there is still time! Please complete the survey by Friday, November 1st. As a reminder, families with students at multiple DPS schools only need to complete the survey once. Please check out the videos in English and in Spanish to see the importance of completing this survey.
We are getting into Respiratory Virus Season! Please review the “How sick is to sick” document to determine if your child should attend school with an illness.
SUPPORT OUR HOUSE CELEBRATIONS: This year PTSA is raising funds to help support our House System Celebrations for students. This program helps promote positive behavior within the school and every single student benefits from the program. Our goal is to raise $4,000 for celebrations throughout the school year. Each House would receive $1,000. CLICK HERE TO DONATE. Any amount is appreciated. Share the link with family and friends!
