  • How can I get involved?

    There are so many ways to get involved at Capitol Hill! Contact ptochair.capitolhill@gmail.com to find out about volunteer opportunities (many do not require daytime commitments), or let us know about a special skill you can share. Ask classroom teachers about chaperoning field trips, helping in the classroom, or special projects. Come to a PTO meeting and find out about what’s going on at the school.  Participate in the many school events during the year where you can meet other families and have fun. 

    How can I receive regular updates about what’s happening at Capitol Hill?

    You will receive a biweekly e-newsletter, The Headliner, from Capitol Hill every other week. You can also join the Capitol Hill Magnet School- Friends and Families Facebook group, where school events and information are often posted. Some classroom teachers and grade-level teams also put out a regular newsletter, check in with your child’s teacher.
