Dear Parents/Guardians:

Our doors have opened after the vacation break and we now look forward to the excitement, challenges and changes that come with a new school year.  As you are aware, I am new to Abbott/R. J. Scott Campus this year and I feel very privileged to be a part of your children's educational experience.  I believe that through working together, we will be successful in providing a learning environment where your children are encouraged to take risks and to expand their knowledge, skills and attitudes.

I believe that Abbott/R. J. Scott Campus is on the right track when it comes to delivering the type of education that will enable our students to be successful.  When I was appointed as the new principal, I walked through the doors of each of the schools and sensed a spirit of enthusiasm.  I soon realized that the staff is dedicated to ensuring that their programs of instruction respond to different learning needs, interests, ability levels and learning styles.  The staff’s high expectations for learning and behavior provide a safe and open environment where children are encouraged to progress as rapidly and fully as they are able.

The success of Abbott/R. J. Scott Campus requires a working partnership between staff, students, parents and the community.  Our staff  believes  when parents, students, teachers and agencies view one another as partners in education, a caring community is formed around helping students succeed in school and in later life.

A monthly newsletter and calendar will be sent home during the first week of each month and will highlight our successes, our instructional focus and upcoming special events and dates.

On behalf of Abbott/R. J. Scott Campus staff I extend to each and every one of you a welcome to the new school year.  Your children are our future.  Together we will make a difference!

Sincerely,

Mrs.  Sandra Stoddard,

Principal
