Welcome...

Welcome to Ruth Hill Elementary School, home of the S.O.A.R.ing Eagles. I am pleased to be the principal of such an outstanding school staff and student community. This school year is full of exciting learning experiences as students and teachers learn and grow together. Our main focus is to encourage all students to achieve high academic standards within a safe and clean learning environment.
As we make a difference one student at a time, we will provide the students with a first-class educational program that promotes academic excellence, positive social interaction, and respect for all. Our S.O.A.R. program will continue to encourage respect for Self, Others, Adults, and Ruth Hill Elementary School. Limiting and Directing is our schoolwide discipline program and helps students to accept responsibility for their choices so that all students feel safe in our building. Our counselor is highly trained in the Olweus Bullying Model. With this model in place, we rarely deal with severe cases of bullying and quickly diminish any situations that appear to be heading in that direction.

As we strive to maintain a school of excellence status in a premier school system, our mission remains RHES - Realizing High Expectations for all Students. We will promote student achievement through data driven decision making, individualized instruction, collaborative planning, collaborative instruction, academic interventions, and excellent professional learning opportunities for all staff members.

I invite parents and the community to unite with us in our efforts to achieve academic excellence. Please take the time to join the Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), assist with school-wide events, or volunteer in your child’s classroom. Parent Involvement events will take place throughout the year, so we hope that you can participate. I encourage parents to stay in close contact with teachers so that students feel a common support both at home and at school. Teachers are glad to arrange a conference with parents at any time during the year.
 
As you browse through our school’s web site, you will find answers to many of your questions. Various links will take you places to receive more information or offer support for your student(s). If you ever have any questions or concerns about the school or your child’s educational experience, please do not hesitate to ask. Finally, be sure to catch up on all the latest news located in the “Eagle’s Eye”, a quarterly newsletter sharing the events happening at Ruth Hill Elementary School.
