A Message from our Administrators

Hello Hunt Valley Families,

This week, our students in grades 3-6 completed the Math SOL assessment. We are incredibly proud of the hard work, focus, and perseverance our students demonstrated throughout the testing process. We also want to thank our teachers and families for the support and encouragement they provided to help students feel prepared and confident.

As we move further into the final weeks of the school year, our school calendar continues to be filled with important learning experiences, celebrations, and end-of-year activities. This time of year moves very quickly, and we encourage students to continue attending school regularly, staying engaged in learning, and putting forth their best effort each day.

This evening, our PTA will host the annual Spring Festival from 5:30-8:30 PM. We encourage all of our families to come out and enjoy an evening of fun, games, food, and community. We are incredibly grateful to our PTA and volunteers for all of their hard work in planning this wonderful event for our students and families.

Please continue to review upcoming school communications for important dates, events, and other information. We look forward to celebrating many more accomplishments together in the weeks ahead.

Have a wonderful weekend, and thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Sincerely,

Keieownna Hightower, Principal

Eric Kopacz, Assistant Principal
