Dear Students, Parents, and Families,
Welcome back to another school year. I hope you had a wonderful summer filled with time to relax, make memories, and enjoy family and friends.
As we begin a new school year, our schools are once again filled with energy, excitement, and opportunity. Each new year brings the chance to learn something new, build meaningful relationships, and discover our individual strengths. We are excited to see our students return and to welcome new families into our school community.
Our dedicated teachers, staff, and administrators have been working hard to prepare for a successful year. Our goal is to create schools where every student gains the knowledge, skills and dispositions to be successful as they take the next step in life.
To our students: Come to school each day ready to learn, grow, and give your best effort. Do not be afraid to ask questions, try new things, or learn from mistakes. Success is not always about being perfect, it is about making progress and continuing to move forward.
To our parents and families: Thank you for the important role you play in your child's education. Your encouragement, involvement, and partnership with our schools make all the difference. We look forward to working together throughout the year to support the academic, social, and personal growth of every student.
This year, let us continue to build a school community centered on kindness, respect, responsibility, curiosity, and excellence. When students, families, educators, and community members work together, there is no limit to what our students can accomplish. May this school year be filled with learning, growth, meaningful experiences, and many successes.
Welcome back, everyone. Let's make it a great year!
Thank for all you do,
Gary Thomas
Superintendent
Preston School District
