March 18, 2024
Hello Hamilton Families,
What an AMAZING turn out for our Barbie dance! I hope everyone had as wonderful of a time as I did. The girls looked adorable and seemed to love the Barbie Box. Big shout out to Mr. Sanders AKA Ken, best dressed dad! Feel free to share your photos on our PTA FB page! Our boys game night will be 4/19 from 6-8pm. A sign up sheet will come home after spring break.
After spring break we will go back to out door line up (unless it is raining)for morning arrival. Students will line up at their grade level door and enter the building at 8:25. Please remember that students are to enter their assigned grade level door or their youngest siblings door. The front door entrance is for safeties or late arrival 8:25 or later.
Teachers are wrapping up report card assessments this week and report cards will be viewable in Parent Connect on April 1st. After reviewing your child's report card, if you would like to meet with the teacher to discuss any concerns, please reach out to set an appointment with the teacher. Please remember that we have a number of resources to support student achievement that can be accessed through your child's Clever Portal. The Clever Portal is what your child uses each day to access online content at school. The students can access this on any device and will have to use their log in that they use in school to access their Clever page. There are a number of great resources there that can be used at home to support the work that is done in class. If you have questions, reach out to your child's teacher for more instructions.

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.
Tardy If your child arrives more than 45 minutes late it will count as an absence. If your child leaves more than 45 minutes early, it will also count as an absence.
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.
Reporting: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.
Any student who is absent-unexcused for 10 or more days consecutively will be dropped from the school and will have to re-enroll if they would like to return.
Thank you for your ongoing support in creating a positive and productive learning environment for all our students.
