    A Message from the Principal

     From the Principal:

    This is the time of the school year, January through March, when we have the least number of calendar disruptions (i.e. parent-teacher conferences, Thanksgiving and Winter Break, holidays, etc.) and teachers look forward to a consistent pattern of instructional days. Please make sure your child attends school every day (unless of course they are ill) so they can optimize their learning. We are proud of maintaining our “Outstanding” state report card rating and depend on the entire community to achieve this. Please remember that you can request a parent-teacher (or parent-principal) conference anytime if you have questions, concerns or just want a quick progress check. And, positive feedback is also always welcome!

     

    I hope to see you all at the Capitol Hill School auction on Feb. 11 at the Crystal Ballroom –  Let’s “Rock It At The Crystal!”

     

    Pam Wilson, Principal
