Ham-Par Happenings
March 2019/Volume 43 Issue 6
Mrs. Hasse's Spotlight
An exciting opportunity is coming to HP! The Franklin Covey school-based division has asked Hamilton-Parsons to be a site visit on the Symposium Tour for south east Michigan 2019 on March 21st! Only schools of great distinction that they feel have meet their rigorous standards and components are invited to be showcased! I could not be more flattered to show how great this school is: our students and staff are perfect and exemplary just as they are! I could not be more proud to show all that we have achieved both BIG and SMALL! #gous #seauslead #proudprincipal
A few reminders and updates for you this month from the office:
- Students need to continue to dress for the weather. Students will go outside if the weather feels like 15 degrees! That includes winter gear so that they can get their full time at recess. We work hard (academically) and like to play hard (safely at recess)!
- Currently wearing shorts, sandals, sleeveless tanks etc at this time of year is NOT permitted. Shorts are allowed to wear during PE and students must put their pants over/on top (sweat suit style).
- During pick up, please use the cafeteria to pick up your child. I have noticed many families picking up/waiting in the lobby at dismissal time. I respectfully ask again to please wait in the cafeteria. The lobby should be for passing traffic. Noon duty/HP Support Staff have been trained to look for parents leaving with a child. Too much congestion clogs up the lobby and stifles this process and flow of traffic. I understand it can be bothersome when your tendency is to get in/get out but if we have all families doing what is requested of them each and every time, it will really help ensure the safety of our students and flow of the process. Thank you, in advance, for following this procedure!
Thank you for your continued support as we continue to be 'fin'-tastic!

Students at HP lead the way with top happenings and thoughts each month! This trimester, Kayla is working to bring you what's happening with HP!
Ever since Mr. Neeson has brought salmon to our school, they have been a point of interest for me.
The salmon are a fun opportunity for the students of Ham-Par to see how salmon live and what they do. I personally like that salmon are at the school and want more things like this in the future for other Ham-Par leaders.
The salmon also help us learn. Mr. Neeson comes over once in a while to talk about the salmon with all the different classrooms. We have learned a lot from the salmon and I hope we will learn more within the rest of the school year as well!
It was very kind of Mr. Neeson to bring the salmon to our school so we could learn and have fun. I’m sure it was (at least slightly) difficult and Mr. Neeson certainly went out of his way to bring us the salmon.
The salmon tank is in the 5th grade pod by Mrs. Tschirhart’s class if you ever want to
see them for yourself!
