Welcome to the

2009-2010 school year!

We are looking forward to a year filled with educational opportunities.  I look forward to staff, parents and the community continuing to work together to ensure Fall-Hamilton is a safe, caring place where all students are provided with a quality education.

We have a reason to celebrate.  Last year’s TCAP scores reveal that we made Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP).  This means that our school continues to be in “Good Standing.”  All are to be congratulated for doing an outstanding job!  The Fall-Hamilton faculty and staff are committed to helping our students achieve.  We want our students to be able to focus all their efforts on becoming the best students in Metropolitan Nashville Public Schools.

The teachers are committed to having “bell to bell” instruction during the school day, making sure every minute counts.  During the year a lot of wonderful opportunities will take place to help every child reach his/her potential. Ways we ensure students are learning include:  teachers teaching standards based lessons across the curriculum, teachers using data to drive their instruction, differentiated instruction to ensure all students are gaining the knowledge, field trips, hands on activities, Accelerated Reading Program, access to computer labs and library services.  We also have several community partners who provide tutorial opportunities for our students.  We will continue to communicate with our community and parents through the use of our school marquee, school website and monthly newsletter.  Fall-Hamilton is a Positive Behavior School this year. 

I am delighted to be the administrator at Fall-Hamilton Enhanced Option School, and I invite you to visit or volunteer regularly.

Sincerely,

Ms. Marsha McGill
