We enjoyed hearing Daveon Wallace tell us about the book titled Rebound this morning during our "Check It Out" edition.

HMS Sixth grade students are shown enjoying working on their Transcontinental Railroad Poster Projects

We have over 80 students auditioning for Beauty and the Beast on Monday! We are thrilled by the response, but the number of students meant that we needed to create a schedule for auditions. Mrs. Hasting's letter to students and parents as well as the audition schedule can be seen on our social media pages. We had planned to send the information home today but that will not be possible. Parents and students who are auditioning look over the information carefully. Let us know if you have any questions. Please share this information. Good luck to all who are auditioning on Monday. Break a leg! #aggiearts #HMSStrong🐾❤️

A Message from Superintendent Ann West: Due to the excessive heat forecast for the next few days, please help your child avoid dehydration by having them drink plenty of water.

Anna Claire Cantrell did a great job during this morning's edition of "Check It Out." She told us all about our next book we need to check out from the library!

A Huge Shout Out to our hardworking lunchroom ladies! ❤️ They served 722 HMS/HHS student meals today. We appreciate them and the love and care they put into our students and their meals! Show them some love! #ourlunchladiesrock #HMSStrong 🐾❤️

Mrs. Pounds' 7th grade classes are off to a great start doing research in the library.

The PowerSchool Parent Portal has been turned on! Parents should now have access to student information. You should be able to sign on with last year's user name and password. However, we will be sending home letters for those that need an account or are new students in Hamilton schools this year. Parent Portal is a great tool for parents to keep up with student grades, attendance, and discipline. Let us know if you need assistance.

Hamilton Middle School is excited to announce this year’s musical will be Beauty and the Beast! 🌹 Auditions will be Monday, August 28th immediately following school. Students be sure to see Mrs. Hastings to pick up and turn in your audition forms. #hamiltonschoolsfinearts #auditions #hamiltonal #aggiearts

💉Flu shots will be available to all Marion County students (except those with PEEHIP BCBS) on September 12th. Consent forms will be sent home soon. Please return them to your school nurse if you would like for your student to receive the flu vaccine. 💉

We have been made aware of a post circulating on Snapchat stating that HMS is not in session tomorrow. The post is a HOAX! We do not send emails regarding school closures, that is not Miss Jackson's email address, and HMS does not have a Snapchat account. Good try though. See everyone bright and early tomorrow morning!

We enjoyed having Jilliyn Senkbeil as our speaker for the weekly book talk edition of "Check It Out!" Great job Jilliyn!!!

We are ready for all our 5th-8th students!!! Happy Back to School!!!

We are looking for substitute bus drivers!

Great news for the coming school year!!! Marion County Schools will participate in the Community Eligibility Program. The CEP program is a PILOT program for the 23-24 school year that allows all enrolled students to eat breakfast and lunch at no cost! CEP is based on the overall economic status of our regional area. NO free or reduced applications will be needed from parents this school year. No action is required by parents for students to eat free. Please note the first complete meal is free, however extra plates or items must be purchased. All visiting children, adults, and employees will be required to pay for meals. www.paypams.com is still available for anyone that wishes to add money to his or her child(ren)'s accounts. This institution is an equal opportunity provider.

Here are a few tips to get you back into a school routine!

School will resume for Marion County students tomorrow, August 9th, and motorists will be sharing the road with school buses once again. Please allow additional time in your daily commute to accommodate more traffic, including buses, on the roadways. Our Transportation Department operates with our children’s safety as its number one priority. Please help them keep our children safe by keeping a watchful eye for school buses and being mindful of the law which pertains to them.

HMS Strong! These kiddos are talented, passionate young performers and we couldn't be more proud of them. Break a leg, you guys! 🐾❤️ From Red Mountain Theatre: Say hi to this week's Youth Ensemble for Joseph, in partnership with Hamilton Middle School! Hamilton, AL is actually closer to Tupelo than Birmingham, so these singers win the awards for dedication and miles traveled. So glad to have you here on stage with us through Sunday's matinee!
