Dear St. Elizabeth's School Community,
What an inspiring Wednesday night! Our teachers opened their classrooms to share exciting plans for the year ahead. Families connected with teachers and school leaders to explore how we can work together to support these amazing young changemakers.
For those who joined us—thank you! For those who couldn't make it, we understand how full life can be. These gatherings strengthen the school-home partnership that helps every child flourish.
OUR TEACHING PRINCIPLES AND HOW YOU CAN PARTNER WITH US
Every child has unlimited potential. We discover individual strengths through small classes and meaningful relationships. At home: Celebrate progress and effort. Ask "What excited you about learning today?" and set inspiring goals together.
Curiosity sparks lifelong learning. We connect real-world issues to engaging projects and celebrate mistakes as powerful learning moments. At home: Wonder aloud and explore together. When challenges arise, ask "What creative solutions can you try?"
Learning thrives through partnership. We share clear goals and empower students to reflect and dream big. At home: Let your child teach you about their work. Ask "What are you most proud of? What's your next challenge?"
Strong relationships fuel achievement. We build vibrant classroom communities while nurturing every aspect of your child's growth. At home: Create joyful family learning routines. Check in about friendships and prioritize rest, nutrition, and play.
Inclusive environments unlock potential. We champion fairness and honor the rich cultures each family brings. At home: Design an inspiring learning space. Share your family's stories and explore diverse books together.
Courageous conversations grow changemakers. Every conversation deepens connection and understanding. At home: Listen with curiosity to your child's ideas. Guide them to discover solutions and stay connected with teachers.
GROWING FORWARD TOGETHER
These principles come alive through daily interactions between students, teachers, and families. Future events are chances to witness your child's growth and contribute to their learning journey.
Thank you for being enthusiastic partners in your child's education. The possibilities are endless when we work together!
Best foot forward,
Adriana Murphy
Head of School
