Principal Message

Welcome Back! I hope you all enjoyed a rejuvenating, restful, and fun-filled summer. As I enter my second year as principal of Mill Hill, I feel both grateful and excited to continue building on the strong partnerships we began last year. It is truly an honor to be part of such a warm, welcoming, and supportive school community. This year, our theme is “Words Matter.” Together, we will focus on the power of language—how our words can uplift, encourage, and inspire both inside and outside of the classroom. We want every Hawk to know that what they say and how they say it makes a difference in shaping our community of respect, kindness, and growth. 

Over the summer, our custodial team and staff worked hard to ensure the building is ready and invited for our scholars. I’m thrilled to welcome our students back into classrooms where they will be challenged, supported, and celebrated. Daily attendance and consistent routines remain essential in helping students thrive academically and socially, and we are committed to partnering with families to ensure each child reaches their full potential. 

At Mill Hill, we pride ourselves on providing engaging learning opportunities while nurturing empathy, compassion, and inclusivity. With a strong academic foundation, we continue to monitor progress and adjust instruction to meet every child’s needs, fostering steady growth. 

Our PTA continues to be an incredible partner, bringing enriching experiences and joyful traditions to our school community. I encourage you to join in and support their efforts—they play a vital role in making Mill Hill such a special place. 

Assistant Principal, Mrs. Douglass, and I look forward to partnering. We pride ourselves on having an open-door policy to support your child and family. We may be contacted through email, Parent Square or phone. Take a moment to read our handbook in its entirety, as it contains expectations, practices and important information and may answer many questions.  

Here’s to SOARing to new heights! 

 

In partnership, 

Amy Yost
