Are you interested in Helping out a Family for Christmas?
We will be continuing our tradition of helping out our sister Cy-Fair school that has many families in need for the holidays. If you would like to participate by purchasing items for these children, be looking for the “Holiday Help” letter to be coming home with your Child on November 4. This letter will let me know how many items that you would like to help out with this year, and in turn, I will send home that number of ornament(s) with specific item(s).
These RSVPs are due to Michelle Erickson, Counselor, by Wednesday, November 16, and the actual gifts (unwrapped) will need to be brought to Hamilton by Monday, December 5.

CFISD Proposed Boundary Change Information
A comprehensive plan that includes 22 elementary schools and two middle schools is posted for community review. You may review these proposed boundary plans and provide written input, all of which will be sent to the Board of Trustees. Please note that community input is not in any way a vote, but rather a way to gain insight into the opinions and concerns of the community, as well as to receive additional ideas for boundary plans. These proposed plans may be modified after considering community input. The final decision will be made at the regularly scheduled board meeting on January 23, 2017.
Proposed Boundary Plan for the Opening of Elementary School #55, #56/Jowell, Matzke Replacement ES and additional campuses requiring enrollment relief for 2017-18 School Year.
The district is proposing boundary changes due to the opening of ES #55 located in the Bridgeland community, ES #56 /Jowell, and the Matzke replacement, and additional campuses that require enrollment relief. ES #56 will consist of PK – 2nd grade and Jowell will have 3rd – 5th grade. The attendance zones of the following schools will be affected by the proposed boundary plan for these schools:
Moore ES to Hamilton ES
All of the following areas in the current Moore ES attendance zone, including all current and future development within this community, would be rezoned from Moore ES to Hamilton ES. These areas would include, but are not limited to:
Hunters Valley/Forest (1840)
Lakewood Forest X East (1961)
Western Estates (1860)
