Mrs. Michels Weekly Updates
Let's make it a great week!
February 27-March 3rd
Hello Hamilton Families!!
I hope you enjoyed the week off and are rested and ready for getting back into the school routine. We are looking forward to seeing all of our kiddos tomorrow! We have a busy month ahead with March being reading month and our College and Career Readiness March Madness week then followed by our spring break. We need to stay focused and on task to make this a great month. You can stay up to date with our reading month activities calendar that is posted on Dojo and will come home in print on Monday. You can also help your child to do their best by getting them a full night of rest and to school on time each day. I am hoping to see yet another increase in the number of students who had perfect attendance for February. In January we had 118 students with perfect attendance, hopefully we have even more for February!

Reminder!! Students are to enter their grade level doors. Students who are dropped off at the front door will be asked to walk to their grade level door if there is time to get there before the 9:10 bell rings. Having students enter the grade level doors helps the adults to know where students are and helps to make sure they are getting to where they are supposed to be. When students enter the doors they are not assigned to, we often find them where they do not belong and the teacher does not know where to look for them when they are not where they are expected to be.
With the wet and muddy playgrounds this time of year please make sure to send an extra pair of shoes to school so students can wear clean shoes in the building. It is also a good idea to pack a change of clothes in your child’s backpack in case they slip in the mud or get wet.
I need your help and support!! I am concerned for the safety of your child and the other children getting in and out of cars during arrival and dismissal. Please remember that students may NOT cross the parking lot alone, all students must be crossed by an adult. You may not park in the bus lane and students may not cross the street between the buses. Students need to be escorted across the street or cross with the crossing guard. If you are getting out of your car please pull into a parking place. I understand this takes time and is a bit of an inconvenience, please remember it is to keep everyone safe. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.
Tuesday we kick off March is reading month with our Family Reading Night from 5-6:30. For those who have not attended our reading night in the past, we have several different activities for reading night that include read alouds by our teachers, games, snacks, flashlight reading, book giveaways, and more! All the activities are free. We do have the scholastic book fair going on as well, those books are for purchase and proceeds support all that our PTA does for our Hamilton community. I hope to see you at Reading Night!!
You can help reinforce literacy in the next generation and ensure students develop a lifelong love of reading. All it takes is 30 minutes of your time with a class at one of our participating schools. Call 734-419-2084 for more information or sign up here today: https://bit.ly/WWCelebrityReaders
