WELCOME TOSurline Elementary School

Dear Surline Elementary Families,

It is with great enthusiasm and honor that I introduce myself as the new Principal of Surline Elementary School. My journey in education began right here, teaching for  two decades at Surline, followed by eight years in middle school. Returning to lead this community feels like coming home.

As a lifetime resident of this wonderful community, my husband, Roger, and I have had the privilege of raising our three daughters here. This community is not just where I work; it is where my heart resides, and I am truly honored to have this new opportunity to serve you.

I am eager to partner with you to create enriching educational experiences for  your children. Our dedication remains steadfast in fostering every student's growth, addressing both their academic and social-emotional needs. We will continue our school-wide Capturing Kids' Hearts initiative, nurturing a kind, empathetic school environment focused on empowering students to become confident leaders.

From preschool through 4th grade, our core mission is consistent: to inspire critical thinking, build self-esteem, and establish a strong foundation of skills. This approach equips our students with a distinct advantage, preparing them for both immediate accomplishments and sustained future success.

We encourage your active involvement in our school life. Your support, whether through volunteering, attending events, or reinforcing learning at home, powerfully conveys education's importance, significantly boosting your child's academic success.

We look forward to celebrating this year's achievements with you. Our aspirations for our students continually evolve as we empower them to exceed their own expectations. Surline Elementary's strength lies in the collaboration among educators, students, and parents. Together, we will create an environment where every student can truly thrive and reach their full potential.

Wishing you a rewarding and successful school year!

Sincerely,
