_____________________________
Built in
1991, this School provides a nurturing learning environment.
Classes are small, optimizing each student's opportunity to
flourish, not only during school hours, but beyond.
Academics are taught
in ways that capture the imagination and inspire further learning.
Technological proficiency is woven into every grade - starting in
pre-school where children are taught computer skills by certified
special teachers. The school also has a one-on-one Early Literacy
Program to ensure that each child is reading on grade level by third
grade.
In addition,
students are offered classes in the creative and dramatic arts and are
invited to perform in the annual Concert and to show their work in the
Spring Art Show. There is an excellent State award winning program -
with wonderful outdoor playscapes and fields that complement the
gymnasium.
After school,
there is a childcare program and various clubs that meet on
Tuesday when a late bus is provided. Childcare is available to
working parents after school until 5:30 for a reasonable fee.
Team sports for girls and boys are also offered in the gym by
Hampton Recreation volunteers.
A transition program
for HES 6th grade students, which includes a week-long trip with 6th
graders from Chaplin and Scotland, helps build new friendships that ease
the move to middle school.
To learn more
about specific programs, childcare scholarships, the
Parent/Teacher Organization, sports teams , arrange a visit, or
