BALTIMORE SUN NAMES HAMPSTEAD HILL ACADEMY
A WINNER OF THE BALTIMORE METRO AREA TOP WORKPLACES 2022 AWARD
Baltimore, Maryland, December 11, 2022 – Hampstead Hill Academy has been awarded a Top Workplaces 2022 honor by Baltimore Sun Top Workplaces. The list is based solely on employee feedback gathered through a third-party survey administered by employee engagement technology partner Energage LLC. The confidential survey uniquely measures 15 culture drivers that are critical to the success of any organization: including alignment, execution, and connection, just to name a few.
“Earning a Top Workplaces award is a badge of honor for companies, especially because it comes authentically from their employees,” said Eric Rubino, Energage CEO. “That’s something to be proud of. In today’s market, leaders must ensure they’re allowing employees to have a voice and be heard. That’s paramount. Top Workplaces do this, and it pays dividends.”

A Note from Principal Hornbeck
June, 2023
On behalf of more than 100 HHA staff members, I write to wish all HHA families a relaxing summer. You should take pride in the fact that our school is a joyful place full of learning and strong friendships. More than test scores and grades, HHA kids are rocking life as they grow and learn together. Please remember to encourage daily reading over the summer and spend as much time with your kids as possible. Have a safe and fun couple of months. We’ll see you for Meet Your Teacher Day on Friday, August 25, 2023 from 9 -11 am. Be well!
School Year 2023-2024 Kindergarten Placement Testing
Tuesday, July 11th and Thursday, July 20th
Do you have an incoming kindergarten student? To ensure that the beginning of the year runs smoothly, we will test all kindergarten students before the start of the 2022-2023 school year. All incoming kindergarteners must attend one of the two kindergarten assessment days. The assessments will take place on July 11th and July 20th from 9:00 AM to 3:00 PM. Each appointment is approximately 30 minutes long. Kindergarten students will be assessed in the areas of language arts and reading. No preparation is needed! You simply need to bring your child at the selected time.
If your child is fully registered for kindergarten or currently attends pre-k at HHA, please make your appointment as soon as possible to ensure you get your preferred date and time. Appointments can be made via email to Academic Coach, Katie Johnson, at kjohnson@hha47.org or through Ms. Varner or Ms. Schultz, our school secretaries, at 410-396-9146. If you are unable to attend either session, your child will be placed into a temporary homeroom until the assessment can take place during the first week of school. Please email Katie Johnson if you have scheduling questions. We look forward to meeting you and your child.
