Due to our bus riders not being able to take items such as balloons, stuffed animals, glass, flowers, etc. on the buses because of safety reasons and in order to be fair to all students, we WILL NOT be taking Valentine’s Day deliveries at HES on February 14th. However, parents may, with teacher permission, send individually wrapped, store-bought treats and/or Valentine’s cards to school. We will not be having class parties, just regular snack with the addition of Valentine’s treats if teacher approved. Thanks for understanding as we strive to be fair to all of our students!

HES will hold Kindergarten Preregistration for students entering Kindergarten in the 2023-24 school-year on Friday, April 14, 2023 from 8 a.m. until 2:30 p.m. in order to register to attend Kindergarten in the 2023-24 school-year, a child must turn the age of 5 on or before September 1, 2023. Proof of immunizations, proof of residence, custody papers if applicable, and a copy of the child’s birth certificate will be required on the day of Preregistration.
Current Kindergarten students will not attend school on April 14 because the K teachers will be involved in the Preregistration process.
Thanks.

Parents, the picture with this post shows the importance of why students need to attend school on a regular and consistent basis. In order to try to boost our attendance which in turn will boost our students’ academic success, HES will implement the following incentives beginning January 3, 2023:
Perfect attendance (no absences, tardies, or check ins/outs)
Month of January = 15 minutes of recess
January/February = Popcorn Party
January/ February/March = Glow Party in Gym
January thru May = Pizza Party
Please help your child earn these incentives for attendance by having him/her at school on time each day.
Thank you


Reminder,
Students will return to school tomorrow, January 3, 2023.
Also, some of our bus numbers have changed due to obtaining new buses for some of our Hamilton bus routes. Bus 08-11 will now be bus 23-11, bus 08-13 will now be bus 23-8, and bus 07-2 will now be bus 23-2.
Thanks

Reminder: School will dismiss today at 12 p.m. for all students. Thank you and we hope you enjoy the break with your children. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Students will return to school on Tuesday, January 3rd.

We have some very positive news to share about HES. First, our school recently scored an 88 on its State Report Card—2nd highest of all Marion County Schools and above the State Average in all areas. Our goal is to have an A next year. Second, our Show Choir just finished several amazing performances of Disney’s Frozen Kids. Third, our teachers and students will be celebrating our most recent Star Assessment scores as they showed much promise on our journey to becoming and sustaining an academically elite school. To celebrate, our teachers and students will be spending some fun time together this Friday by having a fun snack and enjoying a morning of fun activities! Thank you!

The Disney’s Frozen Kids performance scheduled for 6 p.m. tonight at HES will go on as planned. We will have law enforcement on site as a precaution even though the threat earlier today turned out to be a hoax. Thank you!

HES AfterSchool Program Parents, we will have our AfterSchool program today. As a precaution, we will have law enforcement patrolling the area to keep eyes on things. We don’t believe there’s any reason to fear having your child on campus this afternoon, but if you prefer that your child ride the bus or be picked up at the end of the regular school day, call the office asap to let us know. Thanks!

Attention HES parents, law enforcement has lifted the hard lockdown and our campus will resume normal activities. However, law enforcement will remain on campus through at least lunch and our classrooms and other buildings will remain locked. Thanks!

We will provide updates throughout the day relative to our lockdown situation! Again, all kids are safe!

HES Parents, Be advised that HES is currently under a lockdown due to a threat being made against our school. Law enforcement are on scene and investigating. We think it’s a hoax as other schools in North Alabama have been experiencing similar issues today! Your kids are safe and we are taking all precautions to keep them safe! Thanks

Parents, please remember to send $3 with your child today so he/she can attend the Disney’s Frozen Kids Performance. All proceeds go to help support and sustain the HES Music Program. Thank you!

Due to the current weather conditions, Hamilton Elementary School students will be loaded on the buses earlier than normal this afternoon and should arrive home approximately 15 minutes early. Also, car riders will begin loading at 2:35 p.m. today. Thanks.

Due to the potential for strong thunderstorms later today, the Hamilton Elementary School AfterSchool Program will be canceled today. Your child who participates in the AfterSchool Program, will need to follow his/her transportation plan that is normally followed on Fridays. If you need for your child to do something different from what he/she does on Fridays, please call the school asap to let us know. Thanks.

There are three Special Education Aide positions open (Hamilton Elem., Hackleburg Elem., and Hackleburg High) as well as one Special Education Teacher position open (Hackleburg Elem.). Inquiries should be made to the local school principals. Aide applicants can apply at www.spurstaffing.com, and teacher applicants can apply on the Teach in Alabama website.


HES parents can pick up items that were purchased during the school wide fundraiser today from 2 p.m. until 5 p.m. The pickup location will be in front of the school.
