Student dismissal guidelines- We understand changes to dismissal may need to happen. We ask that any changes to afternoon dismissal be communicated by note to the school office. Emergency changes- Parents / Guardians will need to call the main office to make that change.
Bus Dismissal has not changed for today Friday September 8- Students will still dismiss by bus if that is the regular transportation plan.
Due to a fire in the Hamilton Elementary School community, students will be dismissed at 2:15 p.m. today. Dismissal will take place on the side of the school.

Due to safety we are not able to do our regular walkers dismissal. In order for your safety and the student safety we are asking that we follow leaving the building today and lining up as we do for arrival. Walkers will dismiss around 2:15 to the playground.
WELCOME BACK!
