Online Class Schedule
Now that we are in the second week of distance learning, we are following a class schedule that we will follow for the remainder of the online learning experience. The Week 1 schedule is no longer being followed . We have an easier to read distance learning schedule that can be found at the below link (same as the current schedule, just easier to read).
8th Grade Movin' On Ceremony Cancelled
I regretfully need to let all our 8th grade students and families know that due to the Covid-19 pandemic, all in-person commencement ceremonies have been cancelled. We are working to identify some sort of virtual or future alternative to this event.
Hamilton Business Connect
Our PTO has created a list of businesses that are run by current Hamilton families. Please check out the below linked list and think about supporting these businesses when making purchases for your families. Together we can make a difference for our entire community!
Are you a Hamilton family that runs a business in our community and want to add your business to the PTO list? Please contact Sherry Nieds at sherylnrdh@gmail.com .
COVID-19 Resources and Information
Use the links in this section to access a variety of resources and information pertaining to the COVID-19 pandemic. The link directly below offers a compendium of most anything that you might want to know about COVID-19 including links to resources to address issues that include financial, emotional, logistical, and childcare challenges. Resources have been collected from news articles, local Facebook groups, grassroots organizations, etc. This document is not an MMSD creation.
The below last link is to a survey provided by Madison General Defense Committee and is a way to request support for basic needs. Again, not an MMSD link.
Photo Finish
We had planned on a baby shower for our colleague, Adama Guede this past Monday afternoon. The event still took place, but in drive-by format! Ms. Duffield and family were in the lead car!
A staff member brought in her dog on that stressful day that students all stopped by to take their things. It helped to break the tension and brought a smile to all!
