Message from Principal Ronald Leigh:
Welcome to Hillpoint Elementary School, “HOME OF THE HUSKIES”. The staff and I are committed to inspiring your children to academic excellence within a community that fosters respect, honesty, responsibility, self-discipline, empathy, and a positive attitude. Our goal is to prepare students with the vital knowledge and skills they need for success while at the same time encouraging creativity, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning. We believe the responsibility for learning is shared by students, teachers and parents and we look forward to our partnership with you as we work to accomplish these goals. Our academic programs at Hillpoint will be aligned with with the Virginia State Standards of Learning and Suffolk Public Schools Improvement Plan; they include a focus on continuous improvement in literacy and maintaining a high performance in math, science, and social studies.
As we strive to meet our goals, one of the measures of success is our students’ high performance on the Virginia Standards of Learning. The support we receive from each of you will be invaluable. High parent involvement, school-to-home communications, and support for our enriched curriculum create a powerful partnership on the “HILL.” We invite each of you to become involved through our PTA, as classroom volunteers, and through our many Family Fun events, which will be held throughout the year. Events such as the Family Reading Night, Parent S.O.L. Night, Grandparents Week, and Field Day bring our community together both for fun and in support of school priorities. Parent volunteers will be actively involved at Hillpoint on a daily basis. Please check out our P.T.A. webpage (coming soon) to learn more about the important community building and fund raising events.
