    • Traffic flow map 

       

      Hello, Capitol Hill Elementary families and friends! We would like to thank you for taking the time to look at our circulation map provided by PBOT’s Safe Routes to School team. After our observation, we came to the consensus that your current circulation plan is as efficient as it can be, and that you (parents/caregivers) are doing a great job of minimizing vehicular traffic on SW Carson St and keeping traffic flowing counterclockwise to mitigate congestion! That being said, we do have some suggestions that may improve pedestrian safety:

       

      • Avoid turning left onto SW 17th Ave from SW Spring Garden during arrival.

      • Avoid parking on the east side of the street to drop off your students.

      • While crossing SW Spring Garden be extra cautious of cars turning from SW 17th Ave. If you see another group of people walking to school, we suggest crossing together as larger groups of people are generally more visible to drivers!

      • After dropping off your student(s), remember to yield for pedestrians if you are turning right onto SW Spring Garden.

       

       

      Parent Parking:

      • Visitor designated parking is available in the parking lot
      • Parents/students must use the front entryway
      • Designated ADA spaces - 17th

       

      Parent Pick-Up:

      • K-2 picked up outside their exterior classroom doors
      • 3rd & 4th grade pickup is in the parking lot by stairs
      • 5th grade is picked up at the corner of the building on the NE corner by the parking lot

2024-2025 Principal's Message

  • Welcome to Capitol Hill!

    I am thrilled to be entering my 3rd year as the principal of this amazing school. I've been a teacher at the Elementary, Middle School, and High School levels. I’ve been a Learning Specialist, Dean of Students, Assistant Principal, and Principal. I’m passionate about creating a school environment that allows every single student to feel special and valued. I have been married for 13 years to my wife and we have 4 wonderful girls. I strive to be present and enjoy every bit of life I am offered. I love being outside, eating and cooking good food, and watching movies. My favorite parts of Oregon are the cool mornings and evenings and beautiful landscape.

     

    When it comes down to it, our core values are what drives us forward as humans. My core values are a steadfast way that I anchor every decision as a building principal.

     

    Core Values

    Honesty and Transparency

    Student First Decision-Making

    Listen to Understand

    Realize We Are All Humans

     

    2024-2025 Message

     

    I believe that every single student can be successful. At Capitol Hill we are committed to helping students realize their full potential and be their authentic selves by giving them the support they need. Students come to school with different levels of unique needs. It is our job as a school staff to develop relationships with students and families so that we can better understand what each child needs to be successful. When students struggle academically or behaviorally, we need to ask ourselves: What is the lagging skill? What support is or is not in place? What do we need to do differently in order to lift up that student towards growth and success?

     

    All students at Capitol Hill will feel a strong sense of belonging and value for who they are and what they bring. All students at Capitol Hill will find joy and excitement in their learning journey. All students at Capitol Hill will become kind, empathetic, and collaborative human beings. All students at Capitol Hill will actualize their learning in order to successfully move forward after their time at Capitol Hill.

     

    I am committed to our educators at Capitol Hill. Our staff are human beings and it’s important they are treated and respected as such. Being a teacher is one of the most important jobs you can have AND is one of the most challenging. I am committed to supporting our current staff and hiring the best of the best. The staff at Capitol Hill are compassionate, driven, and caring human beings who take educating your children very seriously.
