Morning Drop Off
There are a lot of moving parts as part of our morning drop off. To alleviate any issues and keep safety at the forefront, we have designed a continuous loop to ensure all students are being safely transported to school. Please refer to this document for a map and rules regarding drop off.
YOU CANNOT PARK-If you are coming down the driveway, you need to enter the loop and wait until you have pulled up to the sidewalk. You must stay in your car and let one of the staff members assist students to exit onto the sidewalk. Kids should only be exiting from the passenger side.
If you want to park, it must be on Union Street and then you may walk down the driveway with your child.
Tavern in the Square Fundraiser
For the month of August, our neighbors at Tavern in the Square were accepting monetary donations for Hamilton. We were surprised and excited to find this out and share via our Hamilton Happenings page. We just got the final total and are so grateful for the $5,523 that were raised and donated this week. These funds will go towards many initiatives happening here at Hamilton that will benefit staff and students.
Social Studies and Science
Social Studies and Science are valuable and essential content areas that are part of all students' education in Grades K-5. We are responsible for covering Massachusetts Learning Standards in these subject areas in all grades, and all teachers plan and implement engaging lessons that meet the Learning Standards for their grade level. The Mass Department of Elementary of Secondary Education has really helpful guides that explain these standards for families: Mass Learning Standards for Families
Weymouth Food Pantry Backpack Program
The Weymouth Food Pantry has partnered with Weymouth Public Schools to continue the Backpack Program, which provides food to participating students weekly to meet their nutritional needs over the weekend. Bags include items such as juice boxes, granola bars, mac & cheese cups, goldfish crackers, and milk. The menu will vary weekly.
School staff and volunteers will prepare a bag of food for each child and connect it to the student by Friday afternoon. These bags are free, open to all students, and sponsored by the Weymouth Food Pantry.
Please complete the Google Form below by Friday, 9/27/24 if your child would benefit from additional food over the weekends. All families are required to re-sign up annually to update and confirm any allergies and dietary needs.
