Welcome Back
I am excited to welcome you to the 22-23 school year! I can’t wait to hear all about our students’ summer adventures. Our staff and school community are all committed to providing the best educational experience possible for your child here at Hot Springs Elementary. The role you play in the education of your child is extremely important to his/her future success. Therefore, we encourage you to become involved. We enjoy getting to know the families of the children we serve, and we want you to feel comfortable in creating partnerships with your child's teacher and school. Working together in a positive atmosphere helps to create a successful school and in turn promotes growth for our students.
Respectfully,
Abby Karn
Elementary Principal
