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.
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 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!
Thank you all so much for coming out to our family night on Friday. A BIG thank you to our PTA, teachers and volunteers that supported this event. It was wonderful to see so many Hamilton Families enjoying the great event! Congratulations to Audrey and her family for winning the raffle ticket prize!
We have another fun family event this week on Thursday, we will host our Ann Arbor Hands On Museum Family Science Night from 5-7pm. This is a free event for the whole family!

What a great two weeks it has been so far this year! Our students and staff are settling into the daily routines, teachers have been teaching routines and behavior expectations to help get all students on track for a great school year!
Thank you for the supplies that you have sent in for your child's classroom and thank you for keeping up on Dojo messages and papers that come home. One more thing you can do to help your child have the best day possible is to make sure they are at school on time. Students should be standing in their class line by 8:20(no playground play before school). Students enter the building at 8:25 and students who arrive after 8:30 are marked tardy. When late, students struggle to get their day off to a good start. We know September is busy and we appreciate your support!
Welcome back!! We are very excited to see all of our students back on Tuesday. The Hamilton Staff has already been hard at work getting the building cleaned and ready. The teachers have set up warm and inviting rooms to welcome our students for a great year of learning and growing.

Here it is! The last week of the school year. Like every year, this year provided some ups and some downs and a whole lot of student growth. I absolutely love looking back over the year and thinking about how far our students have come from the beginning of the school year. It makes me very proud to see the the academic and social growth our students have shown. The students, staff and families have all worked very hard and it shows! Thank you for your support and dedication to our students!
