Quaker Hill Elementary School was recently selected as the
Connecticut Association of School’s Outstanding Elementary School of the
Year for 2017-2018. This prestigious award recognizes schools in
Connecticut that provide an outstanding educational environment and
strive to promote Best Practices. In their letter to Quaker Hill, CAS
stated that “Quaker Hill Elementary School demonstrates a wonderful
school climate and a sincere sense of family.” They also noted that
“The committee was impressed with the inclusive and accepting
environment that focuses on meeting the needs of every student, the
multiple venues for communication with parents and community, and the
multitude of learning opportunities for students. (Quaker Hill’s)
dedication to the implementation of Zone of Regulation is a testament to
the high level of commitment and belief in the power of all children.
The choices given to students in their programs and after school
opportunities are commendable and enhanced by the high level of staff
support. The tremendous show of support by the parents, administration,
staff, and students, as well as their numerous references to the
collaboration and caring at Quaker Hill Elementary School, confirms the
committee’s recommendation for the CAS Elementary School of the Year."
Quaker
Hill Elementary School is very grateful for this honor.
