Outdoor Classrooms for Allen Elementary

Saturday, September 7 is a big day for Allen Elementary. That is the day work begins on their new outdoor classrooms. Last school year, 2nd graders wrote letters to their principal, Mr. Tillett, asking to turn an old playground into a butterfly garden. Just as a new butterfly takes flight, this idea quickly gained wings and began to fly. In an effort to serve ALL children, the classrooms are being designed to give full access to students who may not have full access to the current playground. There will be areas for art, music, reading, physical education, and STEM. These classrooms will be connected by pathways that provide a sensory experience for all children - they will be able to feel, hear, and see the pathways as they move from area to area. Each area will also have "buddy benches" where children can find support and new friends. Contact the school if you're interested in helping!

Open House for Choice Schools on Sept. 9

Every student has different interests, hopes, and dreams, and they deserve access to opportunities that best fit their individual needs. “Choose Hamilton” gives your family the option to choose a school outside of your neighborhood zoned school including magnet schools, Future Ready Institutes, open enrollment schools, and early college programs.

The first step in the process of finding the right school fit for your child is visiting potential schools. All choice schools will host information sessions and/or tours on Sept. 9, Oct. 16, Nov. 4 and Feb. 21. Click here to view each school’s specific times for next week’s open house on Monday, Sept. 9.
