Principal's Message

Dear Parents,

Any Shady Grove student will tell you that Cardinals love to get together, listen to upbeat music, and dance! Whether it’s at our Jingle Bell Jog, our Semester Recognition Assembly, or our June SOL Rally, you will find us moving together in time to the music. Therefore, our school theme for this year, “Dancing to the Beat,” celebrates our plan for synchronized movement to the “B.E.A.T.” of the values focus we have defined for the 2008-2009 school year. In our theme, BEAT is an acronym for Being kind, focusing on Effort and Achievement, and displaying Teamwork.

With our fun-filled theme and points of emphasis for character education, we are positioned for another fabulous year of learning and growing together. Thank you for your support for Shady Grove Elementary and Henrico County Public Schools. You are a vital part of our team!
Sincerely,

Regina V. Schwab
Principal

Welcome to Short Pump Elementary! Our name comes from a short handled pump in the area which was used for water by travelers going between Richmond and Charlottesville, Virginia. The surrounding community goes by the same name. Once a rural community, we are now a thriving suburban area.

We are presently a school of approximately 576 students, kindergarten through grade five, and a faculty and staff of fifty. Our school building, which opened in 1926, was renovated and expanded in 1990 to include thirty classrooms, a media center, a multi-purpose room, a cafeteria, and office space. The facility is adjacent to Short Pump Park which is used daily as a part of the school's fitness education program.

We are a school with a committed and dedicated faculty, strong parent involvement, and high achieving students. On behalf of our faculty and staff, I hope you enjoy visiting our web site.

TWIN HICKORY IS COMMITTED TO CONTINUOUS LEARNING, EXCEPTIONAL TEACHING, AND ACADEMIC EXCELLENCE. THROUGH A STRONG COLLABORATION WITH HOME AND COMMUNITY, WE PROVIDE A SAFE AND NURTURING ENVIRONMENT WHERE ALL PEOPLE ARE VALUED AND STUDENTS ACHIEVE THEIR PERSONAL BEST.

Pocahontas opened in February 2000 with 600 students. Today, the enrollment is approximately 862 students and 75 staff members. Our students represent varied cultures, with unique backgrounds, and they collectively bring a wealth of experiences to our classrooms. Together with a highly trained and dedicated teaching staff, our school offers an exciting, enriched, and engaged learning environment.

In nine short years, a strong tradition of excellence has been established in the classrooms, on the athletic fields, and among the numerous clubs and organizations. The reason for this success is not a secret. Hard work, dedication, and a strong desire for excellence combine to make it happen. In 2006, Pocahontas Middle School was named a National No Child Left Behind Blue Ribbon School. Our mission is one of inclusion, enjoyment of learning, and exploration. We believe when you visit our school, you will see these qualities demonstrated by the entire learning community!

SPMS has been open since 1991 and has established a tradition of excellence through high academic standards and achievement. Our mascot is the Puma and our colors are red, white, and black.

Out of more than 380 middle schools in Virginia, Short Pump Middle School was one of the first twelve middle schools to receive full accreditation. This past year our students distinguished themselves with high achievement in SOL passing rates in all Core areas, with 99% in science, 97% in English, 97% in History, and 93% in Math.

Short Pump Middle School is eager to meet the challenges of a rapidly growing and vibrant school community. Please contact us at 804-360-0800 for more information.

Mission

Saint Mary's School is a community founded in Catholic tradition and committed to creating a Christ-centered learning environment in which we share in the Eucharist, proclaim the Word of God, and model the gospel values through our actions, service and the way we live our lives.

Welcoming Boys & Girls from All Churches
Nursery through 8th Grade

Welcome to St. Catherine’s School on the web. I hope the extensive information you find here will encourage you to visit and experience first-hand the distinct programs and people who make this school so special.

From Miss Jennie’s pioneering vision in 1890 of a school that prepared young women for the rigors of higher education, to today’s emphasis on academic excellence, character development and spiritual growth, St. Catherine’s is a leader among independent schools. Our mission is to develop women with a passion for inquiry, intellectual exuberance, an active concern for others, and positive engagement in the world.

Put simply, St. Catherine’s is Empowering Girls for a Lifetime.

Our emphasis on excellence is wrapped within a community of teachers and students who care deeply for one another and support each girl’s success, as well as the lessons learned when she falls short of success. And, we join together in our shared mission of serving others.

A visit is the only way you can fully experience the traditions, the history and the energy that is St. Catherine’s. I look forward to meeting you on campus so I can welcome you in person and share with you everything I have come to embrace and cherish about the school. This is an energizing and exhilarating time to be a part of the St. Catherine’s family. We hope you join our family soon.
