On the Path to Success - Explore, Learn, and Grow!
Dear Wildcat Families:
I hope everyone is enjoying the summer vacation. We are preparing for the 2022/2023 school year. Our First day of school is August 3, 2022. I look forward in making sure this year is successful for all of our educational partners.
The staff and I will work hard to continue the legacy of success established at Bixby by building strong relationships with parents, students, staff, and community partners. We will focus on character education initiatives, 21st Century skills, fostering a nurturing safe environment for children, use of data to inform instruction, New Pedagogies for Deeper Learning, Project Lead The Way to increase students’ achievement, and providing exciting and challenging enrichment opportunities for all students.
I anticipate a successful year as my team and I support the academic, social, and emotional growth of your child here at Bixby Elementary School. I am excited to be a part of the hard work by students, parents, and staff this year. Go Wildcats! We will continue to use our site technology to foster and facilitate success.
During the course of the year, it is my hope that we will work together to provide the students of Bixby the best possible opportunities in preparing them to be world class citizens ready to master the challenges of the 21st Century with a solid foundation created here at our school. As principal, my door is always open and I welcome your input. Please feel free to stop in or call to make an appointment to discuss any concerns, suggestions, or ideas to help make this year great!
As a reminder, the first day of school is Wednesday, August 3, 2022 at 8:20 a.m. for all students. I look forward to working with you and your child.
Go Wildcats,
Shawn Harrington
