From the Front Office
Dear Hamilton Avenue parents and guardians,
Thank you for your ongoing and valuable support. We look forward to sharing the latest happenings in our classrooms and the path ahead for the school year during our virtual Open House on Wednesday, October 7th. Your child’s classroom teacher will send you a Google Meets link to the open house session times. Our flyer is attached for more information. Please attend the session that is relevant and works best for you and your family. As a reminder, if you have to drop off an item for your child during the day, please label the item with your child’s name and bring the item to the main office entrance near the preschool playground on St. Roch Avenue. When you arrive at the main office entrance, please ring the doorbell and speak with one of the Administrative Assistants. A member of the office staff will come outside to retrieve the item from the table because only staff and students are allowed in the building. Please continue to complete the COVID 19 daily checklist with your child each morning prior to sending them to school. Working together we can continue to demonstrate that we are Ham Ave Strong.
Sincerely,
Shanta M. Smith
Principal, Hamilton Avenue STEAM Magnet
Preschool Parents, Arrival Begins at 8:15 am.
Due to social distancing measures adopted as a result of the COVID 19 pandemic, preschool students arrival process begins at 8:15 am. Please remain in your cars until 8:15 am. Standing and waiting in the front of our school prior to 8:15 am does not help us to ensure that we have adequate social distance occurring during arrival. Your cooperation is needed to ensure that we are working together to create and maintain safe arrival procedures for all of our students.
