A Message From The Principal's  Office


Welcome to Ramsey Elementary!

 As your new principals, we look forward to meeting your students and getting to know your families.  Our focus will be to provide your students with an educational experience that is positive, challenging, and rewarding. 

Ramsey Elementary is dedicated to the belief that the students are the center of the educational environment and that every student deserves a quality educational experience which provides for academic growth as well as exploratory opportunities.  All Ramsey staff members value and respect individuals for their unique intellectual, physical, social and emotional qualities.  Through our study of monthly character traits, we will be striving to strengthen students’ sense of responsibility, respect, kindness, honesty, cooperation,  excellence, perseverance, and human rights.

 It is critical that we work together and communicate regularly in order to provide an excellent education for your children.  We value your role as parents and feel honored to be entrusted with your most precious gifts - - your children.

Anna Wilson, Principal  

Sharon Hanson, Vice-principal
