A Message from the Principal:
Good morning,
At Settler's Point Elementary, our purpose is to "ensure that all students learn at a high level." In order to have this come to fruition, I am committed to being in classes two full days a week to improve teaching and learning across the campus. Our goal is to ensure quality learning for every student.
As a result of being in the classes so often, I may not be immediately available to you; however, your communication is important to us. If you have a question about a particular class, please contact the teacher directly, as we have found that is the most effective way to clarify issues. See this link for staff contact information (Teacher Contact Information). If you need to schedule time to talk to me, please contact the front office as they handle my calendar (Front Office Information) .
Thank you for your ongoing support of Settler's Point. The implementation of these practices will enhance our ability to strengthen student learning at our school.
Robert Bircher
Proud Principal of Settler's Point
Calling All Veterans....
This program is one of our favorites here at Settler's. If you have a family member that has served in the armed forces, please invite them to this program. If they are planning on attending, please RSVP, so that we can ensure they are recognized for their sacrifice.
Back Parking Lot....
This lot is designed for use by school buses and daycare vehicles. There were a couple times in the last week that our buses could not enter the school due to parents trying to pull out of that lot. Our parent drop off runs rather quickly, please help us out by using the designated area.
Parent Pick Up/Drop Off....
- Please remember that during parent pick up and drop off, it's a right turn only out of our property. This ensures that traffic flows continuously.
- There are not two lanes for parent pick up and drop off. We have noticed that some parents will pull through where the office staff parks to have their kids cross the crosswalk to get into the car. This disrupts the flow of traffic for everyone else.
- Please remember that you are modeling to your kids how to follow rules by the choices you are making.
- From the time that students are dismissed from school, we are able to get all students on their way home in less than 15 minutes.
