PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students:

Scranton Elementary School welcomes you back to the 2009-2010 school year.  The faculty and staff join me in saying we're happy to have you as a part of the SES family. I am looking forward to a new school year and getting to know each one of you.  This will be a successful year as we watch our students grow and learn. Our goals continue to be striving for academic excellence for all students, improving home/school relations, strengthening our volunteer program, and maintaining a safe, positive learning environment for all students.

The pages of the handbook are filled with important information regarding school and district policy and procedures.  This handbook is placed in your child's agenda in order for you and your child to have it readily available throughout the year.  Parents and students are encouraged to review the contents of this handbook together. 

It takes students, parents, school staff and the community to educate the whole child as we embrace this with our motto "We Succeed Together". Open and clear communication between school and home is important to the success of our children.  Student planners are designed to assist your child in organizing his/her daily, weekly, and long-term assignments, as well as acting as a communication tool between home and school.

We welcome your participation and support this school year and ask you to be actively involved.  We will focus on making sure that our students are lifelong learners who will strive to be successful as they Imagine, Believe, & Achieve. Working together, we will be able to reach our goals and celebrate the achievements of our students.

Sincerely,

Darlene Matthews
Principal

We are asking that each student attempt to turn in 15 Box Tops each month.

Classroom Visitations

All parents are encouraged to visit the school. Please stop by the office upon arrival, sign in, and receive a visitor's pass. Every minute of instructional time is important. While classrooms may not be interrupted, our teachers are anxious to speak with you. If you need to speak with a teacher, please call or come by the front office to schedule a conference during the teacher's planning time, or before or after school. Thank you for your cooperation.

Volunteers Needed!

Scranton Elementary is seeking volunteers to assist with the instructional program. Whether you have one hour or one day, we have a job for you. Volunteers have provided the school with a much needed and valuable service.
