A Message from the Principal

  • Welcome Red Knight families!  My name is Julie Hamlin and I am the proud building principal of 13th & Union Elementary School.  We are so excited to welcome your family to 13th & Union for a fabulous 2023-2024 school year!  Our teachers and staff have been hard at work this summer preparing for this year and to continue making 13th & Union the place to bee! 🐝

    As a mother and educator, I am focused on developing the whole child and supporting their success academically and social-emotionally.  We all have one goal and that is for your child to walk across the graduation stage at the end of their senior year.  Here at 13th & Union, we are focused on supporting the path to graduation beginning in Pre-Kindergarten and Kindergarten.  

    Our door is always open and we welcome the opportunity to collaborate with you!  Please do not hesitate to reach out with questions or concerns that you may have.  We are partners in your child’s education and want our school to feel like home and be a safe place that your child can learn and grow!

    Proud to be a Red Knight,

    Julie Hamlin, Principal
