We had a great first week of school! We are so happy to have all of our huskies back on campus. Students in all grade levels spent time doing get to know you activities, learning the rules and procedures of the school, as well as jumping right in to their grade level content. Our car rider lines and busses have been a challenge. However, I want to thank you all for being patient as we work to get everyone in their cars safely and students home.
Also, congratulations to everyone! Hamlin was the number one school according to the State FAST exam in the district. I am so proud of the staff and students! We could not obtain this honor without your partnership.
For anyone that is new to our school, this weekly newsletter goes out each Sunday. These newsletters allow me to share the great things taking place in our classrooms and I am sure you will not want to miss seeing pictures of your child having fun and learning at school!
Please follow these Car Line procedures:
- Please display car tag ( and make sure grade level is updated)
- If car tag is not displayed, driver will be asked to report to the office with proof of identification for release of student
- Advance forward whenever possible and do NOT leave space in between cars. Please pull all the way up in the front of the school during arrival and dismissal. We are trying to load/unload as many students as possible.
- Practice with your child how to open their own door and shut the car door. We are not able to open every door all the time. Parents Do NOT get out of the car while in the car line.
- Refrain from cell phone use while driving on campus
- Please do not drop off students in the left lanes as this poses a safety hazard.
- Please do not drop off students in the parking lot and have them cross to enter the building as this also poses a safety hazard.
- Careful attention to car pick-up procedures will ensure safety for everyone
As a reminder, please make sure to submit all of your child’s first-day paperwork that has come home, as well as the forms on Skyward. We appreciate your assistance in making sure that these forms are returned promptly.
Students will begin using academic programs to support instruction. Students will use Lexia (K-2) and Reading Plus (3-5) for reading. Both programs align with the B.E.S.T. Standards (Benchmarks for Excellent Student Thinking). Stay tuned for more information regarding these programs.
Finally, please remember that Wednesdays are early release and school ends at 2:00 PM.
Thanks again for your continued support and I look forward to another wonderful year!
Best Regards,
Dr. Angela Murphy-Osborne
Principal
