Dear Parent(s),

I would like to welcome you and your child(ren) to the 2019-2020 school year at Cordova Elementary School. Our teachers and staff look forward to working with you to provide a quality education for your child(ren). It is our philosophy at Cordova Elementary School:

• To cultivate the partnership between school and community by increasing parental involvement and providing a variety of programs and services to meet the needs of all students and parents.
• To provide a safe, productive, nurturing environment for students and staff that will foster and enhance learning, and encourage appreciation of multicultural diversity.
• To improve student achievement in all areas of the curriculum by providing a stimulating and challenging academic program, connecting learning with real­-life applications and focusing on individual abilities and learning styles.
• To empower personnel through staff development, enhancing and expanding programs, and instruction in order to help all students reach their full potential.

We will focus on these goals throughout the year and work to make each student's school experience here at Cordova Elementary School a positive and productive one.

Please join us at our monthly School Community Council meetings. The meeting dates are listed on the school newsletter calendar and on the school website. The Cordova Elementary School Community Council is made up of staff members, parents, and members of the community. We meet to discuss school concerns and plans for upcoming events. The School Community Council is a great way to help build the partnership between the school and community, and it provides an opportunity to share ideas and information with other parents. Please join us!

We are looking forward to a wonderful year!

Sincerely,

Dr. Sharon Spearman, Principal
