Capitol Hill Weekly Update

Please join us for our next Principal’s Coffee, where we'll be learning more about our Social-Emotional Learning (SEL) program, including Caring School Community and our school counseling program. We'll talk about what these programs involve, how they support students’ sense of belonging and wellbeing, and what this looks like in classrooms each day. We look forward to seeing you for coffee, donuts, and partnering to support our students!

We are hosting our first Connect to Kindergarten Event on Tuesday March 10 from 4-5 PM at the school. This is a great opportunity to bring your incoming kinder to Capitol Hill to visit the classrooms, meet the teachers and learn more about our school.

Our second event is Tuesday April 7 from 4-5 PM.
You only need to attend one of these events.

Kindergarten registration opens on March 1! If you have any questions about registering please reach out to Melissa.

We love the strong sense of community at Capitol Hill Elementary and how present and supportive our families are. We also want to continue prioritizing student safety by ensuring that all adults check in at the main office when visiting, volunteering, or even stopping by to drop off an item for a student. Checking in allows us to provide a visitor badge so everyone on campus is easily identifiable as they move about the school.

We also want to help protect teachers’ instructional time, planning time, and breaks, which are essential to supporting students each day. If you’d like to connect with a staff member, please reach out to schedule a time during school hours—pick-up times are often a great option. Thank you for helping us keep our school both welcoming and safe, and for respecting the time and care our staff dedicate to students every day.
