Welcome to the 2020-2021 School Year!

If the first half of 2020 has taught us anything, it is the importance of resilience, community, and most keenly: to expect the unexpected. These values and lessons of the first part of 2020 will undoubtedly stick with each of us for our lifetime. In the same way, at Williamsburg Northside School, we have been instilling these same lessons and values In our students since the very beginning. In fact, it is who we are to our core.

When I think about our school’s core values and what we stand for as a community, I can’t help to think about how responsibility, resiliency, and compassion are intentionally at the heart of what we do each day both in and outside the classroom. As educators and students alike, we view the beginning of each school year as a fresh start and a new beginning filled with boundless opportunities for self improvement, and self reflection. No doubt, we will embark on the journey of the 2020-2021 school year as new and more caring and resilient citizens of the world than ever before.

One of the things I value most about Williamsburg Northside is its mission to nurture each child’s natural curiosity, our strive to create a caring community and to bring a sense of joy to learning. Being a caring community member stretches far beyond the confines of the classroom, school, or your home, but to instill the important value of caring for the world and people around them in the global community.

None of these opportunities ahead would be possible without the dedication of our talented faculty who are masters of their craft and caring global citizens themselves. Northside has been so blessed throughout the years with a talented, caring and committed faculty and it is without a doubt I can say that although we may not know what the 2020-21 school year will look like, it promises to be one filled with learning, joy, growth, community and discovery. Please know that I am always here to support our parents and families however possible so please say hello or reach out to me if you have any questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Doug Hinko

Head of PK-8th Grade
