Shenandoah Elementary School August Newsletter
A Message from Dr. Kinsey
Greetings, SES Parents!
Welcome to the 2021-2022 school year at Shenandoah Elementary School. We look forward to a great year, and we are off to a strong start! As always, we make it our mission each year to provide a safe and supportive environment to promote the academic, social, and artistic development of each student and to develop a desire for lifelong learning. We are excited to get the kids back in school and hopefully back to a regular schedule. We are thrilled to add some wonderful new staff members to our team at SES. Please check out that section of this newsletter to learn more about our new Assistant Principal, Meghan Otto, and the rest of our new team members!
Our goal is to keep your children safe and provide a unique learning environment for them each day. We want you to be actively involved in your child’s education. Your support is essential to their success, and you can really assist our staff by making sure your kids are in attendance regularly and that you show a genuine interest in what they are learning in school. If school is important to you, it will be important to your child.
The entire staff of Shenandoah Elementary is dedicated to making this a positive and productive year that is full of valuable learning experiences. We look forward to working with you and your child.
Sincerely,
Dr. Brent Kinsey
Principal
