Hamilton School District #3

Don't forget that registration for our Washington Primary Early Target Interventions Program (previously Early Literacy) is still OPEN!

Why Your Child Will Love It:

This isn't just about "getting ready"—it’s about sparking a lifelong love for learning. Here is a glimpse of what’s in store:

*Literacy Adventures: From recognizing letters to sharing stories, we make reading feel like a superpower.
*Math Magic: We turn counting and shapes into fun, hands-on games that build real confidence.
*School-Ready Skills: Beyond the books, we help them practice the social and classroom routines that make school fun.

"The goal isn't just to teach; it's to inspire a sense of wonder that lasts far beyond the classroom."

We can't wait to see those "Aha!" moments and big smiles as they master new skills. Let's make this transition to kindergarten the best adventure yet!

HSD3 strives to keep our focus on student achievement & maximize the potential of every child. As we move into an unsettled budgetary future, we must take critical steps to protect vital safety personnel & technology infrastructure. To meet these goals, we are seeking your support of both a safety & technology levy.

Please take a moment to read the below letter from Superintendent Thennis regarding our Safety & Technology Levies.

To get more information on the levies, please visit:

Daly Elementary had A LOT to celebrate this February during "I Love to Read Month"!

From a spirited Masked Reader Competition to cross-grade level story sharing and Drop Everything & Read Fridays, our students embraced the joy of reading all month long. We are also incredibly grateful to the Stock Farm Greater Ravalli Foundation for their generous donation of "Porter the Hoarder" books — one for every student at Daly. Thank you, SFGRF — we are so lucky to have your support!
