From the Office:
Volunteers/Guest Readers/Chaperones:
Good news - you are now able to check your CORI and fingerprint status in Aspen! Here are the detailed instructions for how to do this: How to check CORI/fingerprint status
Remember, any parent/guardian who plans to volunteer in classrooms must have a current CORI on file. To chaperone field trips or help on field day, you must have a current CORI and Fingerprinting on file. CORI and Fingerprinting are good for all HW schools; CORI is valid for 3 years and fingerprinting for 7. Get them done early so you are not disappointed when it comes time to volunteer in classrooms, chaperone field trips or help on field day. You can now check in Aspen whether your CORI/Fingerprinting is up to date - see instructions above.

From the District:
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 brief survey to provide feedback. Thank you in advance for taking the time to engage in this exciting and important project.
From the Hamilton and Wenham Public Safety departments:

The EdFund Golf Tournament is quickly approaching! Held on May 20th at Myopia Hunt Club, the day is sure to be full of lively competition. All funds raised through the day go directly to supporting Hamilton Wenham Schools. Through grants to teachers, administrators, and students, opportunities are provided for dynamic learning and teaching while enhancing existing infrastructure and promoting excellence across the schools. Please consider supporting the day and the Edfund by playing, taking advantage of one of the various sponsorship opportunities, or donating to the raffle and silent auction portion of the event. For more information please reach out to hwedfund@gmail.com.
