It is hard to believe we wrapped up this unique year at Hatch School. I am so proud of the accomplishments and resilience of our students and staff throughout every challenge that presented itself. Best of luck to our 5th graders as they begin their middle school experience. Please see the link from their promotion ceremony! We know they will make us proud and represent themselves well. Thank you to the many parents who have volunteered in different capacities this year and who joined us in supporting the learning at home! We are so grateful for all you do to support teaching and learning at Hatch!
If you’re sad that you didn't order a yearbook, you still can! Please go to TreeRing and type in our Hatch School Code: 101414446417712. You can have it shipped directly to your house! Enjoy!
Here are some links to some amazing video performances from our Hatch musicians as we head off into summer!

New Students and Kindergarteners
Families who wish to enroll new students or kindergarteners must first gather all required documents and make an appointment to have them reviewed. At your appointment, the registrar will explain the online process, verify your documentation and child's grade level, and enter the student into the online registration system. After your appointment you will receive an email for each student with a unique link to submit that student’s registration information. Information for Incoming Kindergarteners >
