Hemlock Elementary School
Gerald Mullins, Principal 
 Welcome to Hemlock Elementary! We are very happy to have your child learning at Hemlock! You can feel secure in the fact that your child is in a school where he or she is safe, welcome and wanted. We are proud to be a California Distinguished School. We earned this distinction by ensuring that our students are learning every day. We have excellent, caring teachers who work tirelessly every day to take the children in their class from where they are academically and help them improve every day! If children have any kind of trouble learning we have a system called the Student Intervention Team (S.I.T.) where a group of teachers, the coordinator, and the principal get together to brainstorm different ways to help the individual child. We are very excited about another positive, fun year of learning! Remember that education is a partnership between you, the parent, and us, the school. Keep in mind that those who make the largest gains in school will be the children who are here on a daily basis, because attendance is so very important. Much of learning is cumulative, that is it builds upon the learning from the day before and if a child misses one day, they begin to have “gaps” in their education. For every day your child misses school, they not only miss out on instruction for that day but they run the risk of falling further and further behind. This can lead to frustration and some kids eventually “tune out.” Don’t let this happen to your child! Do your part to make sure they’re here every day and encourage them to try their hardest in class and ask lots of questions if they don’t understand. I look forward to continue working with you in our educational “partnership.” I know that you want the same thing I do for your child—all the best opportunities life has to offer. A good education is the key--let’s work together to ensure the best future possible for “our” kids! Gerald Mullins  Hemlock Elementary School is one of twenty-nine elementary schools in the Fontana Unified School District. It is a single-track, year-round school with approximately 675 students in preschool through grade five. The Hemlock Elementary School population is a rich mixture of 65.5% Hispanic, 12% White/Non-Hispanic, 12% African American, 3.5% Filipino, 0.7% Pacific Islander, and 1.6% Other ethnic backgrounds. The school has been experiencing a rapid growth in enrollment due to the construction of new housing in the area. The staff believes that quality education for all students can be achieved through high standards for academic performance and behavior. Hemlock is dedicated to ensuring the academic success of every student and providing a safe and comprehensive educational experience.
