Choosing Allied Classes for 2019-20 begins
The process for current sixth and seventh grade students to choose their allied classes for the 2019-20 school year through Infinite Campus is underway. An email with instructions for the course selection process will be sent to families the week of March 18. School counselors will visit classrooms to share information on allied class choices, explain instructions to sign up for classes in Infinite Campus, and provide students with a hard copy of these instructions.
Forward Exam testing to take place in April

Templeton testing dates are:
- Sixth grade – April 3 and 4;
- Seventh grade – April 9 and 10;

GoGuardian services protect students while on devices at school and home
The Hamilton School District uses GoGuardian, a Chromebook management and web filtering service, to provide safer digital learning experiences and keep student personal information private. When students log into their Chrome account, whether it is on a device at school or at home, GoGuardian monitors and filters web content and flags inappropriate sites.
If students use a device at home that is accessible to other family members, it is important that they log out of their Chrome account before other people use it. You can see if your children are logged into their Chrome account if their name is in the upper right-hand side of the browser along with other school app extensions in the browser.
Please mark your calendar for make-up days
Make-up days for weather-related closings are as follows: Jan. 23, 28, and 31 closings will be made up April 22, May 24 and June 12. There will be no make-up day for January 30.
Visitor management system in place
Templeton Middle School is now using the Raptor Visitor Management System. Part of keeping students and faculty safe is knowing who is in our buildings at all times and the Raptor system permits us to do that.
Upon entering Templeton during the school day, parents and visitors will be asked to present a photo ID such as a driver’s license, which can either be scanned or manually entered into the system. Once entry is approved, Raptor will issue a badge that identifies the visitor, the date and the purpose of his or her visit.
