Message from the Principal

Thanks to the entire staff and each of you—parents, guardians, and caregivers—for your involvement in each child’s education. We all know that students learn most effectively when the important people in their lives work together to support and encourage them.

On that note, I strongly urge you to continue to take advantage of the numerous volunteer and educational opportunities available all year long. I encourage you to stay informed by reading our weekly Sunday messages, reviewing the monthly calendar, and, most importantly, attending the school's scheduled meetings.

In addition, I’d like to emphasize the importance of regular attendance. When students attend school consistently, they build essential skills, deepen their learning, and form habits that will benefit them throughout their academic journey and beyond. Let’s work together to make sure every day counts!

Here are a few tips to help your child achieve their full potential:

• Establish a consistent homework routine: Designate a quiet, well-lit space for homework and set a regular time for its completion.
• Encourage reading: Read with your child daily, even for just 15-20 minutes. This helps develop vocabulary, comprehension, and a love of reading.
• Limit screen time: Set reasonable limits on television, video games, and other electronic devices, especially during study time.
• Celebrate effort and progress: Focus on your child's hard work and improvement, rather than just grades.
• Ensure adequate sleep and nutrition: A well-rested and nourished child is better able to focus and learn.
• Communicate with the teacher: Use ParentSquare to stay in regular contact with your child's teacher to discuss their progress, address any concerns, and collaborate on strategies to support their learning.

In partnership,
Leticia McCorkle, Principal
