Dear Hampton Academy Families,
I would like to begin by thanking families and staff for supporting our students during the math state assessment. Students will continue the AIR state assessment on April 30 and May 1, as well as on Thursday, May 9. Students should eat a good breakfast, arrive at school on time, and be well rested. Your support and your child’s attendance will positively impact this benchmark testing. The assessment is a benefit to students in that it will give them a greater understanding of their academic strengths and weaknesses. Additionally, it provides our school district and teachers with important feedback about our ability to provide a curriculum that leads to student success. Results will be mailed home as soon as they are available.
Our renovation project is progressing to the final stages. Work on the kitchen and the cafeteria area are underway, this is necessary for the project to be completed on time, and ready to welcome students for the new school year. As such, for the last seven weeks of school, and weather permitting, we will begin eating lunch in our new courtyard, as well as using the newly renovated 1961 addition for snack times and lunches. Food choices will remain the same.
There is still time to order a Hampton Academy yearbook. The deadline to order has been extended to Friday, June 1st. To order online, go to https://www.treering.com/validate and enter in our school passcode: 1014123484803284. A limited amount of yearbooks will be available after June 1st on a first come basis at a cost of $20. If you have any questions, please call or email Mr. Doherty at Hampton Academy.
Our last seven weeks at Hampton Academy will be exciting ones with many different learning opportunities for students. Classes will be participating in field trips, specialty days and enrichment activities. As we continue to have high expectations of the students representing Hampton Academy, please review academic, behavior expectations and the dress code with your child.
