Parent Notices

Dear Families, 

Lead in water testing results are in for Hamlet Middle School. We would like to provide an update on our efforts to reduce potential exposure to lead in water. Our facility is taking steps to identify and eliminate potential lead and asbestos hazards, if found, by participating in the Clean Classrooms for Carolina Kids program. This effort will fulfill North Carolina requirements related to lead and asbestos and is free thanks to American Rescue Plan Act funding and NC Session Law 2021-180.

As part of this program, Hamlet Middle School completed water sampling from all drinking and cooking taps at our facility on April 17, 2024. You can view the detailed results at the following link: https://www.cleanwaterforuskids.org/en/carolina/.  

For any fixtures with lead levels below the state action level, we are practicing low-cost and no-cost clean water habits to minimize potential exposure.

We have identified two fixtures out of eleven with lead levels above the state action level, we are working to mitigate these taps by flushing the lines and replacing the faucets. These fixtures have been taken out of service for cooking and drinking while we implement the above actions.

Protecting the health and well-being of our children and staff is our top priority at Hamlet Middle School and we are committed to keeping you informed as we work through this program. For more information on lead in water, check out this informational flyer.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Steven King, Maintenance Director at 910-895-3408 or Dr. Wendy Kelly Jordan, Director of Student Services at 910-582-5860.

 

Sincerely,

Ms. Courtney Pearson

Subject: Asbestos Notification

Following EPA regulations, we have non-friable asbestos located within Hamlet Middle School. If you have any concerns or questions, we have on file in the school office an asbestos management plan, which gives the type and location of any asbestos material in the school building. If you want to view this management plan, please make an appointment with me and I will be happy to meet with you.
