WELCOME BACK NEWSLETTER
August 22, 2019
Dear Hampton Academy Families,
On behalf of the staff at Hampton Academy, welcome to the 2019-2020 school year. We are looking forward to working closely with you to achieve our common goal of providing all students with the best possible education. It is our desire that each child emerges with a quality education that maximizes his/her potential and enhances individual self-esteem in his/her future endeavors. We encourage and welcome frequent communication between school and home to ensure success during these formative years.
The Vision: Hampton Academy strives to meet the academic, social, emotional, and physical developmental needs of all students while inspiring lifelong learning.
The Mission: Hampton Academy’s mission is to provide an environment where all students are encouraged to reach their academic, artistic, social and physical potential in order to become productive citizens in an ever-changing world. This mission is best achieved when staff, families and community share the responsibility of educating our adolescents.
Communication occurs through a variety of resources which include weekly updates from teams and teachers, weekly updates (Wednesday/Friday) and monthly newsletters from the administration. These help to keep families apprised of events, activities, and cancellations that occur throughout the year. Please do not hesitate to call us if you have any questions at 926-2000.
With our highly qualified staff, and a strong partnership with parents and community members, we are confident your child will have a safe and successful educational experience at Hampton Academy. We look forward to seeing many of you on Monday, August 26, between 3:00-4:30, to meet your team of teachers and learn your way around our beautiful new building.
Sincerely,
Greg Limperis, Interim Principal & Anna Hersey, Asst. Principal
