Student Ambassadors Meet the Mayor of Obetz!
The Hamilton Middle School Student Ambassadors are a group of students who are focused on leadership and their community. These students had the pleasure of having Mayor Kirk join them for their December meeting to discuss government, leadership, and paths to the future. We are so grateful to have such a giving person in our community as our leader!
7th Grade Science Sugar Projects
Have you ever wondered how much sugar is in your morning coffee or the daily soda that you drink? Mr. Good's 7th grade science classes did some investigating and found out just how much sugar we are consuming.

Tutor Me
Our school has partnered with TutorMe to provide personalized learning support for every student. We believe that every student should have a sidekick in learning, and TutorMe is helping us achieve that goal! With on-demand tutoring, students can access one-on-one, live tutoring and writing support anytime, anywhere.
Personalized Learning Support
Tutoring is available 24/7 and is accessible through Clever.
The TutorMe award-winning Lesson Space replicates all the best parts of in-person learning – including face-to-face collaboration through optional live audio and video. This is especially ideal if your student feels more confident and productive in a virtual setting!
Top-Notch Tutors
TutorMe’s thriving community of tutors includes thousands of certified teachers, professionals, advanced-degree holders, and other subject matter experts – all of whom have been thoroughly vetted and background-checked.
Paper and Essay Review
In addition to live tutoring sessions, students also have access to paper and essay review services through the TutorMe Writing Lab. The community of writing tutors delivers prompt, detailed feedback on submissions within hours, helping students polish papers and hone their writing skills for future assignments. Have your student submit their next writing assignment to help them get feedback before they get graded.
Dismissal Reminders
Please make sure your child knows of their transportation arrangements each day. If a change needs to be made, please contact the school BEFORE 2:00 so we can get the message to your child. Contacting the school after 2:00 does not guarantee that your child will get the message.
Car Rider Reminders
1. Car riders should exit the building using the front doors.
2. Students should enter the vehicle once it has pulled up to the sidewalk area. If you do not see your student, please continue to move forward so we can keep the line moving.
3. Students should not be walking across the parking lot or the grassy area to get to a car that is not yet to the sidewalk. This causes a significant safety concern!
4. Drivers, please drive slowly, follow the flow of traffic and be patient!
Student safety is of utmost importance! Please help us keep our students safe by following these guidelines.
PBIS
What is PBIS?
PBIS stands for Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports.
Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) is an evidence-based, tiered framework for supporting students’ behavioral, academic, social, emotional, and mental health. When implemented with fidelity, PBIS improves social emotional competence, academic success, and school climate. It also improves teacher health and wellbeing. It is a way to create positive, predictable, equitable and safe learning environments where everyone thrives.
Hamilton Middle School- Student Handbook
Our Mission Statement
EVERY RANGER. This phrase is meant to include everyone—every student, every staff member, every graduate and every community member. All of us working together.
EVERY REASON. The primary focus of every school system is the academic achievement of all students. Our staff and, by extension, our community take on the challenge of doing even more for our students. We educate the whole child. Whatever the need, whatever the issue, whatever the REASON we are going to work together and do the best we can for each other.
EVERY DAY. Thank you to our HLSD community for making our students a priority every day, and for always pitching in to help one another.
