Weekly Updates! April 29-May 3
Hello Hamilton Families,
Thanks everyone for coming out to skate night! Thanks to our teachers and staff who stopped in too. We have just a few more PTA activities this year, I thank you in advance for your support and participation. Our PTA has done a tremendous amount of work for our school this year all with a very small core of 4 people. Thank you Hamilton PTA for supporting our Hamilton Stars!
I need your help and support! I have received a number of complaints about the way people are diving in our parking lot and around the school. Please remember to DRIVE SLOW, students MAY NOT walk across the street or parking lot alone. Your car needs to be AT THE CURB OR IN A PARKING PLACE when you let your child out of the car. If by chance you hit another car, please do the right thing and lt the person know and if you can't find the person, come report the incident to the office. We must put safety first, we our staff and students are not safe then no about of learning can take place of that. Please model good citizenship and respect the rules of the parking lot and road.

Attendance
Regular attendance is crucial for your child's academic success. Please make every effort to ensure your child attends school on time every day and stays throughout the whole day. Consistent attendance throughout the school day allows your child to engage in learning and maximize their educational opportunities fully.
Illness: If your child is not feeling well and cannot attend school, please notify us immediately. Students who are ill should not attend school to prevent the spread of illness to others.
Excused Absences: We understand that there may be instances when your child needs to be absent due to illness, medical appointments, family emergencies, or other legitimate reasons. Please notify the school in advance whenever possible to classify the absence as excused.
Tardy If your child arrives more than 45 minutes late it will count as an absence. If your child leaves more than 45 minutes early, it will also count as an absence.
Unexcused Absences: Unexcused absences negatively impact your child's education. Absences without valid reasons will be considered unexcused, and appropriate actions may be taken per district policy.
Reporting:Timely reporting of absences helps us maintain accurate attendance records and ensures that your child's absence is properly documented. Absences must be reported within 24 hours.
There are two convenient methods for reporting your child's absence to facilitate efficient communication and accurate attendance records.
You can notify your child's school through the dedicated attendance line. Please leave a detailed message stating your child's name, grade, and reason for absence.
You can report absences directly through MiStar, our secure online portal for student information. MiStar provides a user-friendly interface that allows you to submit absences.
Any student who is absent-unexcused for 10 or more days consecutively will be dropped from the school and will have to re-enroll if they would like to return.
Thank you for your ongoing support in creating a positive and productive learning environment for all our students.
