School Community Belonging Survey

As part of Weymouth Public Schools' strategic planning, we need your help in creating a shared vision for Inclusive Practices - one that truly reflects who we are as a district and what we value as a community. This vision will paint a clear picture of what inclusion looks and feels like in our schools: where every student, staff member, and family feels welcomed, respected, and supported. Together we will define what it means to belong in our district and ensure that every classroom and school reflects that commitment.

Your feedback here will help us understand how welcomed, respected, and supported everyone feels in our school community. Your responses are confidential and will guide us in our work. There are 7 questions estimated to take no more than 10 minutes.

SEPAC Meeting - 11/18/25 - 7:00pm on Zoom

We’ll start the evening with Meg Verliccio, Director of Student Services, who will share district updates and answer questions.

Then we’re excited to welcome Kara Pratt, BCBA and mom to three, who will talk about the successes, challenges, and strategies involved in advocating for a medically complex child. Kara brings both professional expertise and lived experience that will resonate with many families and educators.

As always, we’ll wrap up the night with caregiver-only time — a supportive space to connect, share, and ask questions.

Food Drive - 11/10-11/21

Our fifth grade class along with the Weymouth Educators Association will be sponsoring a food drive to help the Weymouth community as we enter the holiday season. Please send in non perishable items beginning 11/10 with donations being accepted through 11/21. Donations can be dropped off in the lobby. Any student who tells a friend or family member about our mission or donates anything will earn a homework pass!

Food Resources

In preparation for the possible impact to SNAP benefits, we’d like to remind families about our Backpack Program and the Weymouth Food Pantry.

We encourage families to explore local food resources, including the Weymouth Food Pantry, which offers multiple pop-up locations throughout the community. You can view the full Food Pantry Calendar for upcoming dates and sites.

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.
