The Principal's Desk
We know each student is an individual, bringing unique talents and needs to school every day. We pride ourselves on the opportunities that we have available to help each and every student child succeed. These opportunities are included in our academic programming, which ensures each child is challenged appropriately while building a foundation of knowledge and skills.
Families and community members play a critical role as partners in supporting both your students at home and work in the schools. We had a great family participation on Curriculum Night, Croc Day, and reviewing the Thursday Folders and returning them!
We look forward to working with you throughout the year to make important decisions that affect both your child as an individual and the school as a whole. As a start to this partnership, we hope you will continue to join Class Dojo, attend School Governance Council (SGC) meetings, support our Evening Events, encourage your child by reviewing the skills they need each week and volunteer whenever possible in school activities.
College Park is a wonderful learning community that I feel so privileged to be a part of it. This is a very special place, and I appreciate the trust you have shown in us by sending your children here every day.

It also gives students and staff a chance to interact and bond with others not on their grade level or hall. The House System has cultivated a positive climate and culture around College Park Elementary. Our House Ceremony will provide students with an opportunity to show school and house pride and compete for House points.
