Greetings Hidden Oaks Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I’m thrilled to begin another exciting year with our incredible students, families, and staff.

As I enter my third year as principal of Hidden Oaks Elementary, our mission remains clear: to provide every student with a rich, engaging academic experience that fosters both intellectual growth and personal development. While academic excellence is at the heart of what we do, we are equally committed to supporting our students’ social-emotional well-being. Through this balanced approach, we empower our students to grow into confident, compassionate individuals who are truly “Rooted in Excellence.”

We believe that strong partnerships between home and school are essential to student success. I encourage you to get involved by joining our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and School Advisory Council (SAC), and by staying connected with your child’s teacher throughout the year. We’ll continue to share important updates through ParentSquare, the district’s new platform for communication, and we invite you to follow us on social media:
📘 Facebook: @HiddenOaksESFB

I’m looking forward to another year of learning, growth, and collaboration with our amazing community. Please don’t hesitate to reach out if I or my team can support you or your child in any way.

Warm regards,
Randall Longhouse
Principal
