It is that time of year where there are often afternoon storms. If there is lightning in the area, we will be on a delayed dismissal. In the event of a delayed dismissal, we will communicate with you through Parent Square. In a delayed dismissal, parents must come to the office with a car tag or ID to pick up the student. Bus riders will not be released until the lightning has cleared the area. As a reminder, it is against the law to be on the phone while driving in a school zone, so please stay off of your cell phones for everyone’s safety, especially during arrival and dismissal. We continue to direct traffic as a courtesy. However, we will not continue in the traffic if safety measures are not abided by. We have already had several incidents in the car line. Safety is our top priority.
As a reminder, please return all emergency information forms and electronically sign all consent forms for your child. Also, please be sure to notify your child’s teacher if your child’s dismissal procedure will change.
Parents, please support us by ensuring your student is well-rested and has a nutritious breakfast to start the day. Remember, breakfast and lunch are free at school. Also, please ensure that your child comes to school each day and if they are absent, please provide a doctor’s note or a note from home. After 10 days of absence, you will need a doctor’s note to be excused.
We are excited to have the Accelerated Reader Program here at Hamlin. Please encourage your children to spend time reading their books at home and then taking AR tests.
Please continue to follow the newsletter for updates and photos. I am so grateful to serve such a wonderful community.
Don’t forget, there is no school tomorrow in observance of Labor Day. See you on Tuesday!
Best Regards,
Dr. Angela Murphy-Osborne
Principal
