A Message from the Principal
|
|
Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,
As we begin another year at Harper Elementary, there are many new and exciting changes taking place. A major addition to the school will offer a welcome atmosphere for our new Pre-Kindergarten students. Other changes to the school include a renovated cafeteria, updated classroom intercoms, a new fire alarm system, new classroom computers and playground equipment, as well as new carpet and sound system in the gym.
Our theme for the 2009-2010 school year is “Dream Big.” As educators, we have the responsibility to inform students they have the ability to attain whatever goals they seek; to always aim higher than they believe they can reach; and to never be afraid or hesitant to step off the accepted path and head in their own positive direction. We must instill a belief in our students and teach the value of persistence, discipline and determination. By example, we must teach students to look at the bright side and not let adversity or people “steal their dreams.”
We have achieved Adequate Yearly Progress (AYP) for six consecutive years and once again have been named a Distinguished Title 1 School. We will continue to encourage students to do their best and to “Dream Big.”
My door is always open.
Sincerely,
Allan Rodemoyer
