Mrs. Michels Weekly Updates
Let's make it a great week!
Hello Hamilton Families!
May 8th-12th
Thank you to all who showed their appreciation for our teachers this week! I know your gifts and words of kindness and encouragement were very much appreciated and really made the teachers feel special. The home-school partnership is one of the best things about Hamilton!
BIG BIG thank you to the PTA for putting on the skate night and all the families and teachers who came out to support!!
May is mental health awareness month. Our amazing social worker Mrs. Wilson is the foundation of our Mental health support at Hamilton. Mrs Wilson is committed and very knowledgeable about mental health supports and the resources we have available for students, families and staff. If you or someone you know needs mental health support you can call the office at 734 419-2650, email her at wilsonl@wwcsd.net or reach out on Dojo.
Last week we had a number of students wearing shorts that were so short other students were making reports to teachers that students weren’t wearing pants. Please remember that our students are sitting on the floor for group work, playing games in gym and playing on the playground, please help your child dress appropriately for school activities. No open toed shoes and shorts should be fingertip length or longer.
Attendance updates!!
WOO HOOO! We had a nice increase in the number of students with perfect attendance in April. We had 118 students in April with perfect attendance, that is 20 more than March and 23 more than last April. Keep up the good work. Attendance matters!!
We have a comprehensive list of camps and classes available for our students this summer. Our Literacy Bus will be back in the neighborhood this summer. Please share our summer programs list
