Principal's Message

Capitol Hill Community,


Spring/Summer sure has come fast! I feel the weather has shifted dramatically and we still have 5 weeks of school remaining.


Our 3rd-5th grade students will be finishing up the Oregon State Assessment over the next couple of weeks. We will be holding our last all-school assembly of the school year in May, celebrating Kindness. We hope to continue these monthly celebrations next year. We are finalizing our master schedule for the 23-24 school year and ensuring that we finish this year as strong as we started!


I'm feeling gratitude towards so many that collectively make Capitol Hill such a special place. We can only be excellent when we work together. I'm so lucky to be a part of this big team with you all.


- Mike
