About William Hamilton Merritt Public School
William Hamilton Merritt PUBLIC SCHOOL VISION
William Hamilton Merritt is a place where knowledgeable teachers and supportive parents work together to provide a safe, nurturing environment for students to learn through innovative and challenging programs, which encourage students to achieve their full potential.
We are committed to creating a learning environment that fosters lifelong respect between, and for, students, staff, the community, and the environment.
A message about the Playground and visiting the school. Thank you for following procedure and coming into the office and wearing a visitor badge when you visit the playground or are helping out in a classroom. Safety is number one and staff is being diligent about checking the play structures prior to use. If the play structure is wet, it will be temporarily out of bounds. When the winter is upon us and the ground is frozen, the play structures will be off limits.
The Kindergarten students are enjoying their play area and the outdoor classroom that our ELP team has created. Only one class is out at one time, thus they have a good sized play space to explore. The back area may be accessible to our youngest Mavericks as the year progresses and once they are well into routines and readily following direction.
