West Woods Elementary School

Hamden Public Schools is proud to recognize the incredible dedication of our students who reached a major milestone this year. We are celebrating more than 400 elementary and secondary students who maintained perfect attendance for the first 100 days of school.

Being present for learning every single day is a powerful commitment to academic success and personal growth. These students have shown remarkable consistency and a genuine commitment to being part of our school community.

Please join us in applauding these scholars for their hard work and for showing up ready to learn, day in and day out! We look forward to celebrating even more students at the end of the year.
