Welcome to the 2026-27 school year! As school staff are busy preparing for another exciting school year, we want to remind our families about a few important things that need to be tended to before the start of school.
Online Registration
Families will again use Infinite Campus to verify student information and pay school fees. Online registration opened today and will remain open through August 3. Completing online registration is an important annual step that helps ensure we have accurate and up-to-date information for every student and family. If you experience difficulties with registration or need to set up an Infinite Campus parent portal account, you can email campushelp@hamilton.k12.wi.us.

Back to School Days
Students and families are welcome to familiarize themselves with the building. Students are encouraged to walk their schedule, purchase and receive their locks, set up their locker, get their student ID and pay fees.
All students must have a school – issued – red (hall) lock and black (phy-ed) lock. The locks are $7 each and can be purchased through Infinite Campus. Red lock and black lock fees are automatically added for incoming Freshmen students. Red and black locks from previous HHS years should be used.
