An Introduction to Ms. Hamilton


Dear Parents and Guardians, 

I am pleased to introduce myself as your child’s teacher this year! I have recently graduated from Brock University in the spring of 2022 and I am looking forward to working and learning along side your child this year in our class!

I am committed to creating a culture of belonging, engagement and success for all through creating a strong connection between home and school. Through the following boards' strategic priorities framework, I will be able to best support your child: 

Well Being
  • We prioritize wellness and support the mental health of our students and staff

  • We extend learning to outdoor spaces and innovative environments

  • We celebrate the successes of our students and staff


Diversity, Equity and Inclusion 
  • We value the diversity and identity of our students and staff 
  •  We uphold the principles of respect for human rights and ensure equity of access and opportunity
  • We prioritize safety and promote inclusive, respectful learning and working environments

Community 
  • We collaborate intentionally with partners to enhance the SCDSB experience
  • We nurture relationships built on accountability, trust and transparency
  • We support sustainable practices and appreciation for the environment

Excellence in Teaching and Learning 
  • We hold students and staff to high standards of achievement and accountability
  • We promote collaboration in our learning and working environments
  • We foster innovation and engagement to drive success
Please see the daily schedule that will be posted to the classroom blog to give you an idea of how our days together will be organized. This schedule will remain the same whether we work face-to-face or through a remote delivery. If remote learning is to occur, I will be in touch with more information through our blog. 

The classroom blog will be updated with information about our class to keep families informed about classroom and whole school events. I encourage you to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have throughout the school year. 

I am looking forward to a great year and working within this school community. 

- Ms. Hamilton
