We had another great week at Hamlin! We enjoyed Red Ribbon Week, our 3-5 graders enjoyed the orchestra, and we loved the story book character parade. Thanks for all of your continued support!
As we continue in the second marking period, please make sure you continue to check grades and reach out to your child’s teacher with concerns.
As a reminder, on Thursday, November 19, Hamlin Elementary will participate in Teach-In as part of American Education Week. We encourage our parents or business leaders to participate if they would like to talk to a class about their career, skills and academics. If interested, reach out our media specialist, Mrs. Hohman at Amy.hohman@ocps.net. As a reminder, you must be registered as an ADDitions volunteer to be in the classroom and participate in Teach-In. You can register at volunteer.ocps.net.
Best Regards,
Dr. Angela Murphy-Osborne
Principal
