Please join us in congratulating Marisa Halford on her new role as a Kindergarten teacher at Hamilton Elementary!

We're excited to see Marisa continue her journey in Hamilton and know she'll make a wonderful impact in the classroom. Congratulations, Marisa!

Before students fill the hallways and classrooms once again, our custodial team is hard at work behind the scenes getting ready for another great year.
While our buildings may be quiet during the summer, there's nothing quiet about the work being done inside. From moving furniture around classrooms and deep cleaning every space to sanitizing shelves, lockers, desks, and high-touch surfaces, shampooing carpets, waxing floors, and tackling countless other projects, our custodial staff is putting in long hours to prepare our schools for students and staff.
Their dedication often happens when no one is watching, but the impact of their work is felt by everyone who walks through our doors.
Thank you to our incredible custodial team for your pride, professionalism, and commitment to providing clean, safe, and welcoming schools. We truly have the best and we couldn't do it without you!
