Thomas W. Hamilton Elementary

Open House - September 16, 2025

We look forward to welcoming families to our Hamilton Open House on Tuesday September 16, 2025 from 6:00-8:00pm. Come in to tour the building, meet the staff, and catch up with other Hamilton families. A few community organizations will also be providing information and resources.

Weymouth Wednesdays

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

Safety Routines and Drills

This week students and staff will be reviewing and practicing safety routines/procedures. These lessons include ALICE emergency training, exit awareness, fire drill expectations, evacuation locations and stay in place/lockdown routines. Please know that we are careful to explain all of these terms and routines to students in developmentally appropriate ways. As hard as it can be to think and talk about some of these things, safety is our priority, and practice and preparation are essential.

Musical Instrument Donations

If you have a musical instrument you no longer need, please consider donating it to our Grade 5 music program! Please email jean.gilbert@weymouthps.org for more information.

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.

Attendance Call Procedures

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

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.
