Welcome to

McNamara Elementary School

September 2010

Dear McNamara School Community Members,

It is with great pleasure and excitement that I welcome those of you who are new to McNamara, as well as welcoming back our returning students and their families to the 2010-11 school year. September is always an exciting month, and marks the beginning of a new school year filled with learning experiences that hold all sorts of possibilities.

Our goal at McNamara Elementary School is to work collaboratively with parents, students, teachers, staff, and the community to provide an excellent educational environment in which all students can achieve success. Your support and participation in your child’s learning is critical to their success. Children learn best when they know that everyone is working together to help them achieve. Please plan on attending our Open House/Curriculum Night on September 21, 2010. This evening is designed to familiarize parents with teachers, curriculum and educational resources used in each classroom. 

Parent-School communication throughout the school year plays an important role in student achievement. Parent conferences will be held in October and November to discuss your child’s progress. If at anytime during the school year you have any concerns or questions about your child’s progress, feel free to schedule an appointment with your child’s teacher.

Our school policies and procedures can be found in the student handbook which will be distributed to the students during the first week of school. Please take the time to read this resource to answer questions about the way we do things at McNamara to ensure our students’ safety and continued success. Also, please visit our district’s website at http://www.bville.org and explore the various links for information and events that are occurring at McNamara and throughout the district.

On behalf of the staff at McNamara, we look forward to a promising year for each and every student. If you have any concerns, please feel free to contact me at 638-6130 or at jnadolski@bvile.org.

Sincerely,

Jane B. Nadolski

Principal

McNamara Elementary School
