Principal's Message Rose Hill Elementary School has a diverse student population that possesses a wide range of ethnic backgrounds, student talents, learning styles, abilities, and needs. Students from kindergarten through grade six are heterogeneously grouped for instruction. The goal of Rose Hill is to educate all students to their highest levels of academic achievement. The school aims to continually increase performance in reading comprehension, writing, problem solving, and computation. This is accomplished through the use of a variety of strategies, such as individual and small group instruction, team teaching, cooperative learning, peer tutoring, and manipulative-based instruction.
Progress is measured through assessment of test data, work samples, and students' records.
Similarities and differences of the children, parents, and staff members are respected and celebrated. The staff members have a commitment to high academic expectations and provide assistance for students who demonstrate difficulty meeting those standards. Rose Hill welcomes parent and community volunteers who have enriched students' learning opportunities. Business-school partnerships with FCPS' Department of Information Technology and the Defense Threat Reduction Agency provide more than 60 volunteers for school projects. The school appreciates the support provided by community churches that sponsor after-school tutoring programs.
