Weekly Updates and Reminders 1/21-1/31
Hello Hamilton Families!
I hope everyone is staying warm and safe during this bitter cold! While the extreme cold may be moving out, it is still very cold! Please plan accordingly for morning drop off and not arrive before 8:15. Regardless of the temperature, I do not have enough staff in the building to open the doors before 8:15. Also with drop off and pick up, please remember to conduct yourselves in an appropriate and lawful manner. I am fully aware of the problems with people driving too fast, letting students out in the middle lane, parking in no parking zones and blocking traffic. The police are involved and at Hamilton as much as possible, we have 3 crossing guards, several staff members outside and I address it directly with parents when I can identify the person. However, we would not need the police if everyone slows down and follows the rules. Getting in and out of the parking lot will not be quick, plan accordingly. Nothing is solved or made better by cussing a fellow parent out, giving them hand gestures or speeding past them. Think of the example you are setting for our children and the consequences of your actions if someone gets hurt or even if you just get a ticket. It is embarrassing for your children and causes a great deal of fear when parents drive dangerously, cus, and yell at others. I thank you in advance for your cooperation and support for our Hamilton Community.
