The Leopard Call
Ladd Newsletter
Dear Nordale 6th Grade Families,
As principal of Ladd, I wanted to extend a personal invitation to all of you for participation in our 7th grade. There are many similarities between Nordale and Ladd from Encores to Personalized Learning. We also have that small school feel. The biggest question that parents have is, "Will my child be prepared for High School?" Ladd meets students where they are and challenges them to the next level. The student reflection and ownership that is developed at Ladd prepares students to be independent learners in control of their own educational journey. Students also rotate among core teaching staff, preparing them for varying requirements and expectations in high school. Additionally, a primary focus for 7th graders is Leadership.
We are located right behind Tanana, so we're already neighbors. If you have any questions or want to arrange a visit, please contact me. (907) 451-1700 cori.anthony@k12northstar.org There is also more information on our website.
Sincerely,
Cori Anthony
Principal, Ladd Elementary
