To the Parents and Guardians of The Hamptons School,

Thank you for continuing to teach your children their purpose:

“I come to The Hamptons School to Learn.”

Teacher Learning

Professional Learning – Teacher Collaboration Across Three Schools

Friday Afternoon, October 16 | The Hamptons, Terrace Road, and Scenic Acres

All three schools have identified writing as one of their goals in their School Development Plans.

The specific outcome for The Hamptons School’s writing goal is:

Students will improve their written communication through responsive teacher feedback.

Teachers from all three schools met at Terrace Road School and collaborated in grade-level groups, discussing student achievement in writing. It was an energizing afternoon of learning, and we value the opportunity to learn together.

We are always very grateful for the days dedicated to professional learning.

Safety

Parking Lot – Thank You!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Many parents are using the large parking lot beside the portables for student drop-off and pick-up. Thank you for your continued attention to safety and for helping keep our school community safe.

Our Goal: Student Safety

All students should be safe when walking to their parents’ vehicles and when walking home.

Please remember:

  • Park in the large parking lot beside the portables or on the school side of Hamptons Boulevard.
  • Students walking home who need to cross Hamptons Boulevard must use the crosswalk.

Thank you for helping us keep our students safe.
