Dear Maple Elementary Parents and Guardians,
I hope this letter finds you well and that you are enjoying a wonderful summer with your family. My name is Renee Castanon, and I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Maple Elementary School. I am excited to join this incredible community and to embark on a journey of growth and learning with you and your children.
As we prepare for the upcoming school year, I wanted to remind you that school will begin on Monday, August 5th. We are eagerly anticipating the return of our students and are committed to ensuring that the 2024-2025 school year is filled with enriching experiences and academic success.
When time permits, I kindly ask that you read over the student handbook. It contains important information about our school policies, procedures, and expectations. Familiarizing yourself with this document will help ensure a smooth and successful start to the school year for everyone.
I am very much looking forward to collaborating with you to provide the best possible educational experience for our students. Your support and involvement are crucial to our collective success, and I am eager to work together to create a positive and nurturing environment for all.
Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns or ideas you may have. My door is always open, and I am here to support you and your children.
Enjoy the rest of your summer, and I look forward to meeting you soon!
Sincerely,
Renee Castanon
