Hamilton Parents,

The high winds are causing power outages and dynamic conditions. All buildings will remain in a HOLD. YOUR KIDS ARE SAFE, AND WE WILL KEEP THEM SAFE. However, if you feel the need to pick them up, please do so. We will release students to parents or emergency contacts only. At this time, all phones are down.

Thanks for your patience!
