Our Families
Partnering with Children's First & Most Important Teachers
Families
Each step of the process involving our youth is shared with the families. We believe the center of every child's success lies within their family support system. Incorporating them into the process provides families to experience the impact of our programs.
The active participation of parents/significant adults in partnership with Hamilton Wings is critical for this program’s success. Families are expected to provide support within the home that nurtures their child(ren)’s potential and complements the goals of the Hamilton Wings’ programs.
We Provide Families With:
-
Tools and strategies for supporting their children's talents and social, emotional, and academic development
-
Goal setting and reflection opportunities through workshops
-
Ongoing evaluations of their child's development
Making the Connection
Through the Hamilton Wings' Families Initiatives Program:
-
Children are supported in their interests and in gaining access to valuable resources that will help them grow and develop;
-
Families are supported as they work towards ensuring their children’s success; and,

Working With Families to Set Goals
Together we can have a lasting impact on the lives of your children. Setting clear and identifiable goals will help guide the course for those children participating in SCORE!

The Family Pledge
As your child(ren)’s first and greatest influence, your full cooperation in efforts to provide positive, nurturing experiences for your child(ren) is critical. Your partnership with Hamilton Wings is intended to unify our efforts in order to bring out the very best in our children.
I will work in partnership with Hamilton Wings by:
-
Supporting my child’s abilities and character
-
Finding additional opportunities for my child’s academic, personal, and social achievement
-
Engaging my child in daily conversation that acknowledges his/her abilities and reinforces his/her efforts
We believe every child can and will succeed if given the opportunity.
