Greetings Hawk Family,
I would like to welcome you back to Hamady Middle High School for the 2023-2024 school year. This is a new beginning, a new start, and we are so grateful for that! I hope you will come to school energized every day and ready to take on the task of being an excellent all-around student. I have faith in each and every one of you that success will be yours this year! You’ve got this!
Our school day will look slightly different than last year. This year we are adding Advisory back into our daily schedule, which is a 30-minute period during the day. During this time, we will focus on our mental health. It is extremely important to take care of ourselves not only physically, but also mentally and emotionally. We must ensure the success of the whole child!
While working with the students, we also look forward to working with the parents as well. We have monthly parent meetings that are online and also in person, and we need each and every parent/guardian to participate! We believe in the saying “it takes a village” and you are an important part of ours. We and Us are a MUST!
We love to keep you up to date with everything that is going on so please make sure the office has a CURRENT phone number and address for you. We will send out robocalls and text messages for important events that are taking place that you need to be aware of, including emergency situations and school closings. We also spotlight what is happening in HawkNation on our social media pages so be sure to give the school pages a follow, and check out our school website as well at www.hamadyhawks.net.
This past school year/summer, we lost a few of our precious current and former students. We mourn their loss and are grateful for their time here. Please, appreciate one another. Be kind. Spend time with loved ones. Make wonderful memories. Give people grace and mercy. “If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change.”
Well, let the countdown begin! Our first day of school, September 5, 2023, is a half day with dismissal at 11:15am. School begins at 7:45am every day. Attendance is important and so is arriving on time; please do your best to get here. There is a direct correlation between attendance and grades, the more you are in school for your classes, the better you will perform.
Rest up, get your school supplies ready, and come with a positive attitude and mindset. We have missed you and we eagerly await your return. See you soon!
Ms. Dionna Ross, Ed.S.
Hamady Middle High School, Building Principal
