Welcome back to the start of the 2022-23 school year! The Romoland School District is excited to begin the new school year with renewed optimism, focus, and commitment to educational equity for all students by prioritizing a whole-child focus with an emphasis on the following goals:

• • • • Providing students with a rigorous and enriched academic foundation focused on personalized learning to meet the demands of college and career readiness
      • Providing safe, engaging, and enriched learning environments that support the culturally diverse, social-emotional, and physical development needs of each and every student
      • Providing physically safe and well-maintained facilities that support the health and safety of all students
      • Maintaining fiscal solvency

In our effort to achieve these goals, we place a high value on individual growth for ourselves, our colleagues, and our students. We continually emphasize the importance of adults engaging in and modeling a “growth mindset”  to develop ourselves, while also modeling for students the importance of continual learning, reflection, and personal growth that will serve them well throughout their lifetime. 

Of course, in order to maximize our efforts in creating environments and support structures that will help us achieve our goals, we value and honor a strong, collaborative relationship with our parents/guardians. The alignment between the school, parent/guardian, and student create optimal conditions in which students are provided every opportunity to reach their full potential. We encourage parents/guardians to partner with us to positively contribute to the education of their student(s), as well as, the students throughout our school community. 

Lastly, we are excited to offer our new Alternative School of Choice in the Romoland School District and the Hillside Innovation Academy will begin serving students in the new school year. The school contains three distinct program options for students to meet the individual needs and learning styles of those within our community. To find out more about the Virtual Learning, Homeschool, and Middle School Academy options, you can visit our website for more detailed information.

Looking forward to a great and productive school year!
