🎓 Graduating Families & Konstella Reminder

If your child has promoted out of Hammer, thank you for being part of our amazing community!

To help keep Konstella organized, please take a moment to do one of the following:

• Move your student to the Alumni group
• Remove Hammer as your school if your family has moved on to another campus
• Delete your Konstella account if you no longer wish to receive Hammer updates

This helps ensure our communications reach the families who need them most.
