Five Points Elementary - East
Principal's Welcome
Welcome back to a new school year! I hope you had a wonderful summer and are looking forward to an exciting new school year. We want to welcome our new teachers, staff and upcoming second graders to this upcoming school year and……..I must say that I am very proud of last years students, teachers, staff, parents and community for supporting a tradition of pride and excellence. As a result our building and district has met the state rating of Excellent and I do want to say congratulations and thank you for your ongoing support!
The educational community is very proud of our student success and our district EXCELLENT rating this past school year. As we look to the future and prepare ourselves for this upcoming school year, let me take this opportunity to invite our parents and friends – no better yet… urge them to ….volunteer at the school. There are and will be many opportunities to help out in the school and I truly believe that success for our students happens when we all work together for a common goal ……and that is our students and their educational success!
As a help to you and our Five Points East friends I will be posting the monthly newsletter, lunch menu and periodic updates to keep you informed. Please visit the district website for district information AND the building website for building information and don’t forget to sign up for our building periodic updates on the building website.
And, to our student’s please don’t forget to attach your “Promise” and S.T.A.R.S.tags (second grade students will not have these tags) to your new bookbags! And……parents don’t forget to write your child’s name on all their belongings.
Finally, as we begin this school year I would like to take this time to inform and remind you of some important dates for the start of the school year. And……..as always please give us a call if we can answer any questions.
