The HWRSD is seeking community input for the proposed HW Elementary School Project. The project team has hosted three Community Forums since January to inform, but also create an open dialogue with all stakeholders. We have created a survey, hoping that you have had the opportunity to attend or watch one of the forums. We are asking community members to watch the most recent recorded Community Forum (the Presentation covers the first 54 mins of the recording) and then fill out a brief survey to provide feedback. 

Thank you in advance for taking the time to engage in this exciting and important project. 

The HW EdFund will be collecting any undamaged eclipse glasses you may have in May. They will be sending them to schools in Latin America so the school-aged children can view the October 2024 Eclipse. Please send your glasses into the school office and the EdFund will handle the rest!

Walk, Ride, or Roll to school on May 17th. If you do not live close enough to your school, you can meet at Pingree Park and ride with a group (Winthrop @ 7:20 am, Cutler @ 7:30 am, Buker @ 7:40 am). The Hamilton & Wenham Police Departments will be assisting students to ensure safety for all. 

Abby Velo will be providing bike checks including checking bolts and screws, brake adjustments, chain lubrication, adjusting seats and handlebars, tire inflation and inspection, and helmet inspections. 

Each student will fill out a quick card with name/teachers upon arrival and place it on their bike. At the end of the school day, groups will ride back to the rec center for an obstacle course. Register for the obstacle course wtih the HW Rec. Dept. HERE.
