Welcome to Hill and Plain School

The mission of the New Milford Public Schools, a collaborative partnership of students, educators, family and community, is to prepare each and every student to compete and excel in an ever-changing world, embrace challenges with vigor, respect and appreciate the worth of every human being, and contribute to society by providing effective instruction and dynamic curriculum, offering a wide range of valuable experiences, and inspiring students to pursue their dreams and aspirations.

Hill and Plain School’s Vision:
All students will leave Hill and Plain School on-track for grade level achievement supported by our CORE VALUES, which are…

I am ready to be the BEST me I can be.
It’s okay to have different feelings.
I am in control of how I react and responsible for my actions.
No matter what happens, I have support, and can turn it around.
I will practice a growth mindset, not giving up, because I can do anything I put my mind to.
Here at Hill and Plain, I matter, you matter, school matters.

Building those relationships is in tandem with our collaborative work to encourage students to embrace challenges with vigor, respect and appreciate the worth of every human being, and compete and excel in an ever-changing world. We are committed to instilling core values and providing a safe, welcoming, and nurturing learning environment while making a difference every day. Thank you for trusting us with your child!
