Thank you for you patients as we will continue to work through the final stages of construction and bond work. Everything is coming along nicely! This week due to final work on our kitchen we will offer Pizza and Yogurt plate every day this week. Extra slices and snack bar are not available yet. Please remember that students may not bring pop of any kind to school and the only drink they may have outside of the lunch room is a water bottle.
Just a reminder that we now have an additional crossing guard at Easley and Avondale. Consider parking near that intersection or the Avondale/Schuman and have your upper grade child meet you there since they can cross the street safely with the crossing guard. This will help the parking lot congestion as well as provide your child with opportunities for independence. If you would like your child to walk to one of these corners please message your child's teacher so they are aware of their go home plan.
We are still looking for 4th and 5th grade students to sign up for Flag Football. If your child is interested please email Mrs McLeay or Mrs Cover at mcleayt@wwcsd.net or CoverK@wwcsd.net to sign up your child!
Please remember to be at the bus stop 10 minutes before the designated pick up and drop off time. Especially at the beginning of the year bus route times vary greatly! I highly recommend downloading the Here comes the Bus app Here is a link with more info

Hello Hamilton Families,
We are well underway with our MSTEP testing and hope to wrap that up in the next week, then we move on to NWEA testing. Please continue to make sure your students are at school on time for the full day so they are not missing important testing as well as valuable instruction that is needed to be ready for next year. I was disappointed to see such a major drop in our perfect attendance in March. In February we had 112 students with perfect attendance and in March we fell to just 87 students out of 474.

What a beautiful Sunday to kick off some great weather this week! With this nice weather it is the perfect time to start allowing your child to walk or ride their bike to school. We do have a bike rack where your child can lock their bike up.
This week begins our state testing window. We have some strict guidelines to follow during this time so I ask that you please have your child to school on time for the whole day so they do not have to make up any testing. Also, NO cell phones or smart watches during testing. Please be aware that students may not wear Apple watches/smart watch nor have their phones during our MSTEP state testing sessions. Our students in 3rd-5th grade will begin taking the M-STEP test this week and are prohibited by our state testing guide lines from having phones and smart watches in the testing session. Students in elementary don't need phones at school at anytime but may not have them in their pocket or on their wrist during testing. We have phones in every room of the school so students have access to a phone in case of emergency and don't ever need their phone during the school day. Thank you in advance for your support!

Happy Easter!! I hope everyone enjoyed the day with family and friends. I love spring and the reminder new beginnings and growth. When I think back to the beginning of the year and the amount of growth we have seen this year I am so proud of our students, families and staff. It is the result of the hard work and team effort by all.
Monday 4/1 report cards will be viewable in parent connect. Take time to review this with you child and discuss where they began the year and how much they have learned and how far they have come. If you would like to schedule a conference with your child's teacher to discuss your child's progress please reach out to the teacher to schedule that time.
