Additionally, the Weymouth Schools Backpack Program continues to provide weekend meals for students. Families interested in participating can sign up here.

Attendance Call Procedures

Please refer to our absence call procedure for when your child is not attending school.

Dismissal Procedure - Parents

We will have a very busy front door this year. If you are a parent waiting for Grades 1-5 students please be aware of your surroundings. Before students who are walkers are released, we will be boarding vans. We need a clear path for these students to get to their transportation home.

When you are exiting the area, please walk along the sidewalk to the crosswalk. We have staff stationed here to assist with you safely crossing. Entering the driveway anywhere but the crosswalk is not safe with cars, vans, and buses moving through.

Bus Dismissal Feed

Please click here each afternoon to know when each bus has left Hamilton for the day.

Textile Recycling Program

It’s not trash, it’s cash! Check out this flyer about our textile recycling program and how you can raise money for our school.

Weymouth Wednesdays

Staff and students are invited to join in on Weymouth Wednesdays at Hamilton. Dress in Weymouth gear or wear maroon and gold.

Attendance Counts

Having students at school and on time daily is a major part of having a successful school year both academically and socially emotionally. Please send your child to school every day, unless they have any of the prohibited symptoms. Let us know how we can help if attendance is a concern for your family.

Lunch & Breakfast

Students may bring their lunch from home or choose from the daily menu. Breakfast will be grab and go and lunch will have hot and cold options. All students will have access to meals at no cost.

Bus Expectations

We want to remind families that riding the bus is a privilege and that safety for all students is extremely important. We will continue to review behavior expectations and adjust individual plans as necessary so that all students are having a safe and enjoyable transportation experience.
