About US
Hutsell Elementary, which opened in 1978, serves a diverse student group. Its academic success is attributable to a dedicated faculty that works hard to meet the needs of individual children, an effective volunteer and community group of more than 200, and a variety of special programs that serve its diverse population.
Classroom teachers share instructional objectives with special-area teachers (physical education, art, music, technology, and media library) so that lessons in those areas strongly support regular classroom activities.
Parents stay in touch with campus happenings through the Parent-Teacher Association, the Campus Advisory Team, and a bi-weekly newsletter that focuses on school and classroom activities, and parent involvement opportunities. In addition, school information goes home weekly in the "Wednesday Folder," and the library media center houses a special parent section. Hutsell also sponsors grade-level orientations, an open house, academic nights, nighttime parent conferences for working parents, and six parent academies that focus on topics ranging from phonics and social studies to a school-wide art night.
