Hello Parents! We know the holidays are a very busy time of year but wanted to make sure everyone is aware of the current fundraiser going on at Hamilton. Your child should have brought home an order form for yard signs. This allows parents, grandparents, coaches or friends the opportunity to display their pride right in their front yard! These signs can be personalized for each student or fan for any sport, band, choir, or scholars like honor roll or principals list. All orders and money due in by Monday, December 4th. We can’t wait to drive through our neighborhoods and see your yards displayed with Wildcat pride! Goooo wildcats!

*Student Test Scores*
In spring 2023, students in Grades 3 through 8 took the General Summative Assessment and students in Grade 11 took the SAT School Day assessment.
On Tuesday, September 12, students will receive a printed copy of their individual student score report which will contain information regarding each student's performance on the tested areas. To further assist parents/guardians in understanding their child's performance on the WVGSA or the SAT School Day, the West Virginia Department of Education is providing an individual video score report for each student in addition to the printed report..
A link to your child's individual video score report will be sent to your child's K12 student email address on September 12th. Please work with your student to access the link in the email. When you click on the link, you will be taken to a site where you will need to enter your child's date of birth to access the video report. Resources are also available at that site to help your student.
If you need assistance in locating the video score report link, or if you do not know your child's K12 email address or password, you may contact your child's school, or contact Cathy Grewe at the Wood County Schools Board Office at 304-420-9663 Extension 122.
