​Parents and Guardians, I know that students being on lockdown is scary to hear. But, please know that we take all threats very seriously and we will always inform you after the event is secured. We cannot reach out to parents during a lockdown. We do allow our students to text you because that calms them during the process, however, we are not in position to answer questions over the phone or via social media during those times. We love and care for your students as our own and want what’s best for them. We would never lockdown the building without good reason, nor would we sacrifice instructional time unnecessarily. Thank you for those follow up calls and emails. We are glad to respond to those because we know that we responded in an abundance of caution, which is what we would want to happen for our own families. We appreciate your patience and understanding. 

​Happy New Year Huskies! I hope and pray that all is well with you and your families. We missed you all but know that this time with family and friends was important and hopefully rejuvenating! Now…it’s time to get back to business.

The spring semester of the school year is chocked full of activities, assessments, and assignments. Students MUST be at school, every single day. Missing even one day of school can cause a child to fall behind during this semester. And we certainly don’t want to trigger any anxiety or additional stress for any of our students. Families, please help us keep calm and carry on by being on time for school and present for the entire day.

​Thank you and welcome back!

Hello #HamFam! It is the time of year where our 8th graders and families need to decide what high school they will be attending and magnet application window #1 opens on December 14th. Please pay close attention to our school social media and website for opportunities to get help with completing your applications and to ask any questions you may have regarding eligibility and deadlines. Mrs. Agnew will be offering workshops to support with both!
 
Our school’s Winter Showcase is coming up! December 15th at 6pm you will be able to see our Hamilton Huskies shine in Theatre, Band, Art, The Sapphires Dance Team, and presentations from our Spanish department. This is a great opportunity for you to see what our kids are up to, every day!
 
Lastly, I want to take a moment to publicly thank all of our parents and community members for supporting our school in each event, fundraiser, and project so far this school year. Your dedication of time and talent has been immeasurable to our campus, and we appreciate you! I pray that all is well with you and that you and your family have a wonderful holiday season this year and see you in 2023!

​Happy Autumn #HamFam! We have reached the October stretch of the school year and we want to make sure that you are all up to date on all the Hamilton Happenings. Students received their first report cards on 10/7. If you have not seen grades or report cards, please reach out to the grade level administrators or sign up for Parent Connect. They can assist you with reaching out to teachers, scheduling conferences, and/or signing up for tutorials. All students are expected to receive their progress reports on 10/28 and final grades will be submitted on 10/26. ​We want all Huskies to be successful, so let us know how we can help! 

Hey Huskies! Welcome back to the 2022-2023 school year! I am so excited to be back as a member of the #HamFam. I have been welcomed back with open arms and have been so surprised to see some former students that are now bringing their children to Hamilton…makes me feel so old!
 
I want to tell you about our plans for Hamilton. Next year, we plan to return our Karate class back into the course selection for our campus. Students will also continue to have their picks among a plethora of high school credit courses. And if all goes well, Swim class will become an option as another alternative to PE.
 
We are proud of maintaining our “B” rating, but we definitely have plans to improve to our deserved “A” rating for the 2022-2023 school year!
 
Lastly, if you would like to join our amazing group of parents, please consider joining our PTO. Please reach out Ms. Hawkins at jhawkin5@houstonisd.org for details.
