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
