Dear Schneider School Parents, Guardians and Community,

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to another school year at Schneider Elementary School. The teachers and staff have worked hard in their preparation and planning, and I am excited to see what this year has in store for all of us.

As a school we continue to be honored by the fact that we get to be a part of such a wonderful school community, and we look forward to doing our part to ensure that we are a model by which others can look to. I will be the first to admit that our success hinges greatly on the partnerships that we are able to develop with not only our parents, but with our community as a whole. I thank those that have extended a hand of support in the past, and look forward to connecting and building relationships with those that we have yet to connect with.

Instructionally we will look to maintain our practice of providing instruction based on assessment data, which will allow us to better tailor support to match the needs of the students that we serve. We have a talented staff of educators here at Schneider School, and I am excited to see the wonderful learning opportunities that will be offered to the students that they work with.

We as a school look to connect with our families and this task is done as a result of the amazing work of our parents and the strong leadership of our PTO. I continue to be impressed with the level of volunteerism and willingness to sacrifice that our parents show. I know that the strong culture and connection that students, staff, and parents feel is a direct result.

On behalf of the teachers and staff of Schneider Elementary School, I want to say that it is an honor to serve the students and parents, and we are humbled that we have been given this great opportunity.

Sincerely,

Michael P. Smith, Principal
Schneider Elementary School
