Hello Hamilton Families!
Here we are less than two weeks away from Thanksgiving! I truly enjoy this time of year spending more time with family and friends and taking time to think about what I am grateful for. As part of our PBIS ( Positive Behavior Interventions and Supports) we identify a new Spotlight behavior every month to focus on at Hamilton. Our current spotlight behavior is Gratitude. Students are learning what it means to be grateful and show gratitude. You can help teach this at home as well.

Thank you everyone for your patients and understanding with our internet and phone outage. The district is still working on resolving all the issues relating to the outage. Thank you also for all who attended parent-teacher conferences. Your involvement in your child's education is truly an essential piece. If you weren't able to meet with your child's teacher but would still like to meet, consider a phone or zoom conference, reach out to your child's teacher if you still want to touch base.
This is our last week before break and I wish all of you Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays. I hope your holidays bring you joy and wonderful memories. Enjoy the time off to be rested and ready for a great second half of the year!!
I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving holiday and long weekend! I enjoyed the holiday and long weekend spending time with my family and kicking off the Holiday season. Now I am ready to make the last month of the year great! We have many school activities and lessons this month, keep an eye on the calendar and Dojo so your child is not missing out on any of these school activities. As mom of two (and soon to be grandma) it was not that long ago that my boys lived at home and the hustle and bustle of the holidays had me on my toes too! While we want to do so many fun things and get all the holiday events in, do your best to keep schedules and routines as normal as possible. Keep bed time routines and times consistent, spread events out over a few days and allow down time for your whole family. When elementary age children stay on schedule they are better able to control their behavior and emotions, which will make events and activities better for everyone.
Thank you all for coming out to the Halloween Parade! It was great to see so many family members there! We got very lucky with the weather! Thank you to everyone who donated candy and time so our kiddos could have such nice treats.
Thank you everyone who went to Skate Night! It looks like it was a great turn out with some wonderful costumes! Our next event is our Halloween Parade. Families are welcome to come watch as our student's and staff parade around the school. We are still looking for candy donations by 10/29 if you are able to donate we greatly appreciate that! Please remember that students need to be in school friendly costumes and no weapons.
Well it looks like we may have a fall coming! I hope you are enjoying some cooler weather and all the fall feels this time of year!
