Students head back to school; numerous changes in store for H-D

     Students headed back to School Monday at Hampton-Dumont middle school and high school, beginning a fresh school year where a few new changes will go into effect. Elementary schools began classes on Tuesday.

     New this year for all students is an earlier start time to classes as well as an earlier ending of the school day. Additionally, students will see enhanced security at Southside Elementary School – where a camera-buzz-in system has been installed – and plenty of new teachers.

     Todd Lettow, superintendent of the Hampton-Dumont Community School District, said he is excited about the beginning of another school year and  he feels there are a lot of positives headed into 2013-14 academic schedule.

     "Being a teacher at heart, I look forward to seeing the kids come back," Lettow said of the new school year.             Read the full article in the Aug. 21 edition of the Hampton Chronicle.
