I am pleased that you have taken the time to visit Lantrip Elementary and I welcome all of you to such an outstanding school. I am proud and honored to be the principal of a great school that was just recently named a Blue Ribbon School, the highest honor an American school can achieve.
At Lantrip Elementary our staff is committed to ensuring student success. We are student advocates and truly believe that all students deserve a warm and nurturing learning environment in which they are supported by parents, staff, and each other. We want students to be empowered so that they understand they have the capability for making excellent decisions. We also believe that students operate more effectively when consequences, positive and negative, are well defined and consistently enforced.
It is Lantrip’s goal to improve student achievement by providing rigorous instruction with modifications as needed. To ensure the success of each student we will analyze student data regularly and monitor daily performance in the classrooms. We will continue to support the needs of every individual learner. Through a significant after school grant, we can continue to offer a variety of after school programs designed to enhance achievement, provide enrichment activities and bring families together.
I look forward to frequent and open communication with all of our Lantrip parents. It is so important that our students know we are all working as partners for their benefit. You will receive regular notices from teachers about your child’s class. I will also send a letter each month to update you on happenings and keep you apprised of “Big News.” Many events, including Family Nights, PTO meetings and Morning PAC meetings are noted on our Family Calendar, but if you have more questions please call the office. Know that at any time, you are welcome to come to visit! I am anxious to meet you and hear your ideas about our school.
