Dear Hamlin Families,

Happy Mother’s Day! I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. 

I am happy to report that our students did an outstanding job on FAST!   I am so proud of them! Their achievement is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our teachers, students, and parents. 

Our fifth graders still have the state science test on Thursday and we know they will do great! 

There are lots of exciting events happening in the last couple weeks. Please make sure you are reading the emails from your child(ren)’s teacher. 

I am immensely grateful for the privilege of serving this wonderful community.  I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend.

The School Board of Orange County, Florida (Board) Policy JIC, titled “Code of Student Conduct,” in addition to Section 1006.07, Florida Statutes, requires the adoption of a Code of Student Conduct (Code). Orange County Public Schools (OCPS) has developed the Code to help students, parents/guardians, and school personnel understand the guidelines for maintaining a safe and orderly learning environment. The Code shall be discussed with students, school advisory committees, and parent/teacher associations at the beginning of each school year and quarterly thereafter and for transferring students upon their enrollment. 

An electronic copy of the Code can be found online at the District website, on the OCPS app, or on OCPS school-issued devices.

We only have a few weeks left of school!

While the finish line is near, please keep in mind the important dates below:

Hamlin Elementary is getting opportunities ready for volunteers to come in to help!  All volunteers will need an active ADDitions account and review all the Guidelines and Waivers provided by our OCPS district. 

Being up to date in ADDitions helps the process of being a field trip chaperone, lunchroom helper, attending/participating in daytime events held at the school, PTO events, classroom volunteer, media center help and so much more!  

Here’s how to sign up/update your ADDitions account:
