The 5th grade ski trip to Lost Trail is go! Students should be at the school at 7:15am.
The Hamilton School District transportation department is monitoring an incoming storm that may impact the 5th grade ski trip to Lost Trail tomorrow, January 27. Cancellation of the trip may happen due to unsafe driving conditions. Our transportation director and school administration will make a decision on the trip late this evening or by 6:00am Friday morning. Thank you.
Students were not in school on Friday, but they were most definitely the topic of conversation among the HMS staff. As staff walked throughout the room they saw the name of every HMS student displayed. Discussion centered on the personal connections they currently have with each student, and what could be done to build stronger connections with more students in the future. Connection drives effective teaching and learning, and is key to a positive and successful school experience!
