Dear Todd Families,
I hope you are enjoying the summer with your loved ones finding time to relax, have fun, and make wonderful memories together. As I transition into my new role of principal at Todd Elementary School, I want to let you know how excited I am to build relationships with you. The connection between school and home is incredibly important to your child's happiness and success. We are partners in this educational journey!
Summer is a busy time at Todd! Many things are happening to prepare for the upcoming school year. There are improvements being made to the building. Currently, many of the flat sections of the roof are being replaced. In the gymnasium the floors are being refurbished, the wall pads are being replaced, and the walls are being painted. Additionally, teachers are working in grade level teams to plan for implementation of our new reading program, Scholastic Literacy. Your children will be reading beautiful, authentic texts as they build knowledge and develop skills to read with greater fluency and comprehension.
I am committed to providing the best possible educational experience for your children by collaborating with families and staff members. To learn more about our amazing school community, I created a Parent Survey that I would encourage you to complete. Your responses will provide me with valuable insight to inform my goals as I embark upon my first year at Todd. Thank you in advance for your participation.
I am in the process of planning a fun outdoor Meet and Greet opportunity for students and families, which will take place toward the end of August. Once details are solidified, I will send an invitation. I look forward to meeting you and your children!
The eSchool Parent Portal is currently down for summer updates. The portal will be back online with 2022-2023 school year information, which will include student placement, on August 19th.
Please mark your calendars with the following important dates:
Tuesday, September 6th – Class Orientations/Open House (schedule to follow)
Wednesday, September 7th – First Day of School for Students
Wednesday, September 21st – Back to School Night (Grades K-2)
Wednesday, September 28th – Back to School Night (Grades 3-5)
I will continue to communicate with you as I have more information to share. Feel free to contact me should the need arise. I am so excited for a positive and productive first year together!
Warm regards,
Jessica Michaelidis
Principal, Todd Elementary School
