Our 6th grade teachers are a valuable part of Hamilton's teaching team. They are responsible for teaching Math, Science, Social Studies, and Language Arts to students and work closely with each other in a grade-level team to ensure a quality 6th grade program for our students.

This team has one teacher responsible for English Language Arts and Social Studies while the other is responsible for Math and Science. Hamilton staff and students are committed to maintaining both high academic and high behavioral expectations (RCW 28A.150.240).

Our focus on "rigor" in both the classroom and professional practice keeps us constantly reaching for the next level of student learning, and constantly discussing ways we can assist students to reach the next level of performance. Our culture of collaboration provides rigor and academic challenge by ensuring curriculum coherence, and uniformly high expectations for student work, grading practices, and instructional strategies.

Students at Hamilton are expected to be highly engaged in the learning process. Our motto at Hamilton is, "Hawk Heroes help themselves and others to learn!", and they accomplish this by understanding our three overriding expectations: "You are here to Learn, Do your Best, and Treat Others with Kindness". Hamilton is very intentional about the way students are challenged and engaged.

Growth is monitored in many ways and teachers use a range of methods to help students deepen their understanding of what they are learning, why they are learning it, and how they know they have achieved it. We don't believe all students can learn; we believe all students WILL learn.
