Dear Dragon Families,
Welcome back to another exciting school year! I hope this letter finds you and your family rejuvenated and ready for an extraordinary year filled with growth, learning, and memorable experiences. As the superintendent, I am thrilled to travel on this journey alongside you and your child.
Our dedicated team of educators has done tremendous work over the summer to prepare for your child's return. We have been reviewing our curriculum, enhancing our instructional strategies, and creating a safe and nurturing environment where every student can thrive.
We are committed to providing an exceptional educational experience that focuses on the development of each child. Our goal is not only to foster academic excellence but also to nurture their overall well-being. We believe that when students feel supported emotionally, they are better equipped to reach their full potential academically.
To achieve this vision, we will continue implementing innovative teaching practices and programs that engage students meaningfully. Our teachers will create dynamic classrooms where critical thinking skills are honed, creativity is celebrated, and collaboration is encouraged. We want our students to be active participants in their own learning journey.
Furthermore, we recognize the importance of open communication between home and school. We encourage you as parents/guardians to actively engage with us throughout the year by attending parent-teacher conferences, school events, and staying connected through our various communication channels, such as social media platforms. We value your partnership in ensuring your child's success.
I want to express my gratitude for entrusting us with your child's education. Your support is vital in creating an atmosphere conducive to growth and achievement. I encourage you to reach out with any questions, concerns, or suggestions. Together, we can make this school year a remarkable one for our students.
Once again, welcome back to Purcell Public Schools! I look forward to seeing all of your smiling faces on August 10th.
With warm regards,
Sheli McAdoo, Ph.D.
Superintendent
