The new school year is off to a great start!  We welcome all of our new students to J.C. Hill School and welcome back our grade eights for their final year of elementary school.  J.C. Hill is an exciting place to be.  As a staff we take pride in the educational programs we offer to the students and we balance out these educational experiences with other exciting components of our school programs such as our intramural sports, school teams and clubs.  We hope that all of the students will enjoy their time at J.C. Hill School.

Please take time on “Meet the Staff” on Wednesday, September 27, 2017 from 4:30 – 6:00 p.m.  Refreshments will be served.  Come and get to know your child’s teacher(s) and ask any questions you may have about our school.

School is Out for the Holidays, 

But Learning is In.

“Like a sponge, children’s brains are always open to absorbing knowledge, even though their school might be closed. If we look hard enough and think outside the box, we will realize that learning opportunities are all around us.”
