Parents are doing a great job turning in their excuses this year! We appreciate your efforts. School attendance plays a significant role in students' success so please monitor your child's absences carefully. Please make sure to communicate with the school regarding absences by providing the correct phone number and email address to the office. We will be using email to inform you of any unexcused absences so please keep all information up to date. Let's work together to make this a great year! #attendancematters #HMSStrong
Hamilton Middle School was proud to have Jordan Carter with the Marion County Sheriff’s Department on the 8th grade hall this morning. Thank you!
HMS began its After School program today! This program will help 5th and 6th grade students fill in reading and math gaps by offering after school assistance in these areas. Our After School Program hours are Monday - Thursday from 3:00 to 4:30. Remember that parents must make arrangements for students to be picked up every day. Please call the school office at (205) 921-7030 if you have questions or you would like for your student to be a part of this program.
REMINDER: Monday, September 12th, is a Teacher Workday. There is no school for students on that day. Have a wonderful and safe long weekend!
Mrs. Ballard’s 7th grade science students at Hamilton Middle School are observing microscopic wasps as part of their unit on biodiversity and interdependence. While wasps are often seen as the bad guy, this parasitic wasp actually kills a large number of flies each year.
Marion County Schools are proud of our very own Ann West for being named District 7 Superintendent of the Year, and she is a finalist for Alabama Superintendent of the Year. We appreciate the leadership of Mrs. West and how she represents Marion County on the district and state level.
September is Attendance Awareness Month. Starting September 7th, students who have perfect attendance (no checkouts, tardies, or absences) from 9/7 through 9/30 will be entered into a drawing at each school to win $100!!!
All Marion County Schools will be closed this Monday, September 5th, 2022.
Have a safe and fun Labor Day weekend!
Montgomery, Ala. – To provide all-inclusive support for the Alabama Course of Study:
Mathematics Grades 6-8, the Alabama Department of Education now offers free access to Math Nation powered by Accelerate Learning.
The online and print learning resources for grades 6-8 are available at no cost to Alabama public schools thanks to funding from the Alabama Math, Science, and Technology Initiative (AMSTI). This is the Alabama Department of Education’s initiative to improve math and science teaching statewide.
Through AMSTI’s innovative partnership with Math Nation, Alabama students, teachers, and families can access Math Nation’s resources for 6-8th Grade Math from the web, tablets, and smartphones 24 hours a day. Math Nation helps students master math skills with individualized instruction from dynamic content videos led by “Study Experts” — and students can choose the Study Expert who best fits their learning style. Using the Math Nation mobile app, students can also download videos and view them offline later when they may not have internet access. In addition to the videos, Math Nation resources include personalized remediation tools, digital practice tools, homework help and virtual tutoring, a professional learning community and resources for teachers, and family support videos. A limited supply of printed student workbooks are available as well. “Equity — ensuring learning opportunities for all — is a core AMSTI belief,” said AMSTI Director Dr. Sandy Ledwell. “Through this $6 million partnership, Math Nation will provide print and online resources for grades 6-8 Math in the 2022-2023 school year. In the 2023-2024 school year it will add even more resources to support Algebra 1, Geometry, and Algebra 2. Our partnership with Math Nation ensures that every student in those courses can engage in grade-level, standards-aligned practice to build their knowledge, skills, and confidence in math, anytime and anywhere.”
