The Parent Portal is your first stop to access up-to-date academic information and applications to support you in monitoring your student’s progress.

Hamilton uses Digital Deets to communicate important information with families.

Hamilton will be using Digital Deets to streamline school-to-home communication this year. Their “one app for all” solution enables all of the members of a school community to easily receive information. Here’s how you can sign up:

1. Head to www.digitaldeets.com or download their mobile app available for iOS and Android.
2. Sign up and connect to your child. (No Digital Deets Code for your child? No problem! Use the Look it Up Link.)
3. You will begin to receive targeted, relevant information related to your children.

You can find updated school policies by clicking the link.

We have created this one-page calendar to post on your refrigerator with  important dates for families. We will continue to  update and add dates throughout the school year. Our most up-to-date calendar is on our website and can be found here. Feel free to reference this calendar anytime.

We are very excited to announce that Hamilton Middle will have before and after school activities. We have wonderful partnerships and can’t wait to start. Here is a quick reference of what will be offered. For more information about school sports, please visit our Athletics page here.

All Hamilton families should complete this application as it helps the school receive funds. The submission and approval of a Household Application for Student Meal Benefits provides advantages beyond eligibility for free or reduced priced meals.  It also helps ensure students receive the maximum amount of benefits they are eligible for, including discounts on bus passes and some school fees, such as athletics, and reduced AP testing fees. It ensures schools receive additional resources to support healthy meals for students and after school programs. Your assistance in completing and submitting the Household Application for Student Meal Benefits is greatly appreciated and has the potential to help all DPS schools.  Apply now at myschoolapps.com.

Bus stop information is now available on the Parent Portal. Click on  this link to get instructions for finding bus stop locations and pick-up/drop-off times. If the Portal says “walker”,  that either means the student is not eligible for transportation or they attend a school that uses the Success Express shuttle. If they attend a shuttle school, then they are automatically eligible and may board the bus at whichever stop/time works best for them. Shuttle schedules are available here. If you have any questions, call 720-423-4600 or email transportation@dpsk12.net.

Hamilton has teamed up with Way to Go to offer Schoolpool, a safe carpool matching service. Schoolpool connects neighboring families who may be a good fit for driving, walking or biking to school together. For more information contact our school Liaison Dimarlys Suarez at dimarlys_suarez@dpsk12.net.

If you are concerned about bullying at your school, we recommend contacting your school’s principal, social worker, school psychologist or teacher directly to address the issue. We encourage you to talk to your student about bullying and to teach your student to always tell a trusted adult if he or she, or another student, has been bullied or cyberbullied.

COVID-19 Guidance for Parents & Caregivers

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.
