Welcome To Hamilton Elementary

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.

Thank you for your continued support of our schools, our students, and our community.  Last night, Wayne-Westland voters elected Shannnon Rochon, Frederick Weaver and Andrew Ambrus to serve on the Board of Education beginning January 1, 2025.  

Dear Wayne-Westland Families,

As we progress further into the school year, I’m excited to share some positive updates from across the district. First and foremost, I’m proud to report that our district budget remains in a healthy position. This stability allows us to maintain our focus on our top priority—supporting our students and staff and helping them succeed in the classroom.
