Credit by Exam
Students in grades K-5 will have four opportunities during the school year to use “credit-by-exam” to accelerate to another grade level. Students will only have one opportunity to test for each grade level considered. Our 2nd of the 4 opportunities to accelerate for the upcoming school year will be during the week of February 10-14. Grade placement would be made at the beginning of the 2020-2021 school year if your child were to qualify.
Students who earn scores of 80% or better on each component of the credit-by-exam will qualify to advance one grade. Only one grade level may be “skipped” each year. No retests will be given.
The application deadline is February 6. If you are interested in getting more information about credit-by-exam, please contact Michelle Erickson at michelle.erickson@cfisd.net.

***Hamilton Elementary Helpful Information***
Questions on Student Lunch Accounts or Cafeteria Items?
If you are wanting to purchase cookies for the class to celebrate your child's birthday, please contact Ms. Jae at least two weeks in advance.
Lending-to-Learn Program
Your child has the option to check out a Chromebook and Kajeet wifi hotspot for home use. The Kajeet device provides filtered wifi blocking social media and YouTube. In order to participate in the Lending to Learn program, parents must first sign the agreement form which will be kept on file in the library for the entire year. Then each day a student wants to take home a laptop and hotspot, a slip must be turned in that morning to the library. At dismissal, students stop by the library to pick up the assigned devices and place inside their backpacks. Devices are to be returned the next morning by 9:00 a.m.. If you have any questions about the Lending to Learn program, please contact our librarian at jennifer.lucas@cfisd.net.
