Hamburg Central School District continues its collaboration in the area of mental health. For more information, please click here for this month's newsletter from the Erie County Anti-Stigma Coalition.
The Middle School and High School students, as well as community members and all staff, had the privilege to see world-renowned speaker Kevin Hines talk about his personal struggle with overcoming suicide. As a district, and for the well-being of the entire student body and their families, we would like to share with you the importance of suicide prevention. Click here for more information and to hear Kevin's story.
We will be sharing more information and resources to continue to support the mental health and well-being of our community as a whole.
Should you ever have concerns about the well-being of your child or others, please reach out to the mental health staff in your child’s building.

Project creates modern learning spaces
Modern learning spaces have been created in key areas at Hamburg High School and Middle School as a result of the Hamburg Central School District’s recent capital project. Click here to see a new video that highlights renovations of the Library Media Centers and Family & Consumer Sciences rooms to create spaces that are learner-centered. Bright and sleek, with better functionality, these spaces are flexible, provide areas for movement, and promote collaboration and inquiry.
This is the third video in a series that “tells the Hamburg Schools story.”
Change to school calendar/snow day makeup on May 24
The most recent snow day (Feb. 25) was the fifth time that the Hamburg Schools were closed this year due to the weather. This exceeds the four days set aside in the Board approved 2018-19 school calendar. According to our approved calendar, Friday, May 24th will now become a full day of student attendance. This calendar change is consistent with NYS Education Department law.

You spoke…we listened. Many parents have told us that they prefer to receive school notifications via text message or email instead of automated phone calls. So, this school year, the district is relying less on “robo calls” to relay certain information and more on text/email through service provider SchoolMessenger. Parents: The district must have your correct cell phone number and/or email address on file in order for you to receive notifications. Additionally, to receive texts, you must take the extra step of opting-in.
