The Hamline Elementary community is thrilled to invite you to our fourth annual Discovery Expo, hosted by Hamline University. ​​This event provides PreK-5 students with exposure, knowledge, and connection to their future interests and passions.

Professors and University Students from multiple departments will create a guided experience for students to discover and make real world connections in order to pursue their dreams. University departments participating include Modern Languages, Wellness Education, Religion, Athletics, ASL, Environmental & Climate Science, and more!

This is an active and joyful event made possible through our partnership with Hamline University, and we hope families can join us!

All classrooms have scheduled time when they will be attending the Discovery Expo:

10:00-10:50: Walsh (Kindergarten), Kainz (Kindergarten), Douglas (2nd)

Coffee with the Principal is a chance to chat with Principal Reilly, ask questions about the school and your child, and learn about what we are up to at Hamline Elementary. We schedule these monthly, usually on a Friday at 9:30.

Our next Coffee with the Principal is this Friday, March 14th from 9:30-10:00 in the Family Room (Room 1103).

This month, we will talk about our School Continuous Improvement Plan (SCIP) for 2024-25, answer questions, and talk about what's happening at Hamline.

Saint Paul Public Schools engages in a process of continuous improvement. At the school level, a major tool in the improvement process is the School Continuous Improvement Plan (SCIP). The SCIP is a strategic document that district schools utilize to identify annual improvement priorities at each school.

Families are always welcome at Hamline, and we especially love to see you at our Assemblies.

This month, we will be celebrating our creators:

Students are able to demonstrate their creativity skills to see things in new or different ways, and creatively solve problems or challenges they face.

Huskies are Creators: “We find different ways to invent, produce, and make things.”

Grades 3-4 Assembly: Friday, March 21st, 3:00pm
