Hello Hamilton Families,
October 9- October 13
Well Fall has finally arrived! Fall is well underway and so is our school year. Students are already showing amazing growth. I am very proud of how hard our teachers are working to teach routines and expectations to make sure the day goes smoothly. When students are taught the expectations and routines it make the day predictable and a great environment for the students to learn. Those great days can start at home with you having a morning routine that gets students up and to school on time. We had over 45 students late on Friday. When students arrive late it alters the morning routine and can have a negative impact on your child and the children who are disrupted by your child entering the room late. Work on your at home routine to make it to school on time so your child has the best start to the day!

Friendly Reminders
As we feel the chill of fall in the air please dress your child for the weather. The students will not enter the building before 8:25 unless it is raining. On rainy days the doors will open at 8:15. In December will move to indoor line up as the weather gets colder. So please make sure students are dressed for the weather.
PTA fundraisers are due on Tuesday. Make sure you send the money in a labeled envelope or bag. We don't want any money to get lost.
Pictures are coming home on Monday. If your child missed picture day or you don't like the picture, retake day is 11/16.

Attendance
Regular attendance is crucial for your child's academic success. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school on time every day and stays throughout the whole day. Consistent attendance throughout the school day allows your child to engage in learning and maximize their educational opportunities fully.
Illness: If your child is not feeling well and cannot attend school, please notify us immediately. Students who are ill should not attend school to prevent the spread of illness to others.
Excused Absences: We understand that there may be instances when your child needs to be absent due to illness, medical appointments, family emergencies, or other legitimate reasons. Please notify the school in advance whenever possible to classify the absence as excused.
Unexcused Absences: Unexcused absences negatively impact your child's education. Absences without valid reasons will be considered unexcused, and appropriate actions may be taken per district policy.
Timely reporting of absences helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that your child's absence is properly documented. Absences must be reported within 24 hours.
There are two convenient methods for reporting your child's absence to facilitate efficient communication and accurate attendance records.
You can notify your child's school through the dedicated attendance line. Please leave a detailed message stating your child's name, grade, and reason for absence.
You can report absences directly through MiStar, our secure online portal for student information. MiStar provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to submit absences.
Thank you for your ongoing support in creating a positive and productive learning environment for all our students.
