The Book Fair is Back!

You are invited to shop our Scholastic Book Fair from September 26-30. All purchases benefit our school and connect kids with new books, favorite characters, complete series, and more. Visit our Book Fair Homepage for our hours, how to buy, and details.


Our Book Fair offers a cash-free payment option called eWallet. eWallet is a convenient digital account that your child can use for shopping at our Fair. You can create an eWallet and add money, or invite grandparents, friends and others to contribute too.


Directions are here for creating an eWallet. Students can buy from eWallet during the Book Fair. Our school also has a Hamilton Student Book Fair Donation Fund that we invite you to donate to. (Ignore grade level on linked donation page - we could only pick one, but any VHM student who wants a book will get one!). We will use this school-wide wallet for students who want a book, but whose families are currently experiencing financial stress. Ms. Phelps will run this eWallet, and make purchases to fulfill student requests.


Questions? Email Librarian Alex Phelps: aphelps@madison.k12.wi.us

Despite an enrollment of 729, friends can generally find a place for an uninterrupted conversation.

Open House Reminder

Our annual in-person Hamilton Open House event is coming your way soon on Wednesday evening, September 28, 5:30-7pm. Once again, our Open House will follow a drop-in format. There will be no bells or the formal following of student schedules, rather parents and families can drop-in to their children's classes for informal conversations with teachers and staff members. Remember, Open House is a time for you to see where your child "goes to work" each day and to meet their teachers. It is not a time to try to have impromptu parent-teacher conferences. Parent-teacher conferences will be coming your way in mid-November.
