Hamilton High School

Attention HHS Families who have a student taking Driver's Education for 3rd Quarter:

The class starts Monday, January 19th (the first day of the quarter).

As part of the state requirements, we are holding a MANDATORY PARENT MEETING to provide an overview of the course, outline expectations, and give specific information regarding Driver's Ed at Hamilton High School, including how to successfully complete the course.

Parent/guardian participation in this meeting is REQUIRED. Failure to attend will result in your student being removed from the course roster and placed in a different class for that period. Please note that student attendance is not required, as they will receive the same information on the first day of class.

MEETING INFORMATION:

Date: Tuesday, January 6th
Time: 6:00 PM
Location: Hamilton High School Study Hall – Room #101

In addition to the course overview, we will be completing all necessary paperwork, including the Driver’s License Application and the Traffic Education Permit.

Please bring the following required documents to the meeting:

Social Security Card or Passport
Certified Birth Certificate
Proof of current address (can be in either the parent or student’s name; acceptable forms include a bank statement, power bill, or credit card statement)

We will be notarizing all paperwork during the meeting, so it is essential that you bring the required documents listed above]

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Mr. Bonnes at bonnesm@hsd3.org.

Hamilton School Community,

Tomorrow, December 18, 2025, Hamilton schools are closed.

Schools and school related activities are cancelled tomorrow, except for remote learning for our middle school students. Two of our campuses, Daly Elementary and Hamilton High School, do not have power. Hamilton Middle School students, due to cancellations earlier in the year, will have remote instruction.

We apologize for the evening notice and appreciate your flexibility.

Dave Thennis - HSD3 Superintendent

Hamilton Parents: All schools will release at the regularly scheduled time today. Buses are available to transport students home.

At Daly Elementary, school buses will pick up on Mustang Way. Parents planning to pick up students should park in the parking lot.

Thank you for your patience. We will send an update about tomorrow early this evening.

Sincerely,
Dave Thennis, HSD3 Superintendent

Hamilton Parents,

The high winds are causing power outages and dynamic conditions. All buildings will remain in a HOLD. YOUR KIDS ARE SAFE, AND WE WILL KEEP THEM SAFE. However, if you feel the need to pick them up, please do so. We will release students to parents or emergency contacts only. At this time, all phones are down.

Thanks for your patience!

HSD3 Families: All district campuses are currently on a severe weather hold. We will continue to update you as things progress. Please know that our focus is the safety of all of our students and staff.

In addition, any HMS students who are checked out of school to attend the tournament must be accompanied by an adult.
