Welcome Letter 2024-25

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

Our staff is looking forward to a positive, exciting year with your child and you. We are excited to partner with you to ensure that our students grow academically, socially, emotionally, and physically. In order to ensure the most successful year possible, we commit to nurturing all students while instilling a sense of responsibility and respect for each other and the world around them.

Parents are a child’s first teacher, and we ask that you guide and support your child’s learning by making sure that they:
• get adequate sleep each night.
• read daily to develop a love for reading and practice literacy skills
• talk with you about their school experiences
• attend school daily and arrive on time, ready to learn
• know that you expect them to work hard and behave well in school

We are excited to work with you this year and hopefully have you visit school often, take part in activities, and communicate with your child’s teacher regularly. Our entire school will be using Class Dojo this year, and we are hopeful that this method of communication will work well for families and teachers. Please contact your child’s teacher or me if you have any questions or concerns this year. It is my sincere wish that we work together to create a positive learning experience for our students.

It is a privilege to work with your child and you this year. We are thankful that you are part of our school family!

Sincerely,

Shelley Peets
Principal
Pathfinder Elementary School
