I want to welcome you to the 2017-2018 school year. For those new to the Isador Cohen Family, this is my third year as principal. I have been an employee of the district for approximately 18 years, ten years as a classroom teacher, 6 years as an instructional coach and two years as a principal. The staff and I are committed to the education of your child. We are willing partners with you on this journey. This means we are committed to continually examining our practices and policies to ensure that our school community works for all students. We are committed to making sure that every student that comes through our door is known by name.
As we partner together, I would ask for your involvement in our school community. I’ve come up with some statements that begin with “We Need You” to emphasize how important you are to the school community.
We Need You to volunteer in the classroom: listen to students read, make bulletin boards, organize papers and help with special projects
We Need You to volunteer around campus: help with beautification projects, coach a sport, facilitate an after school club, monitor students on campus or chaperone at events
We Need You to join our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) to help us fundraise for teacher and student needs that our school budget cannot accommodate
We Need You on our School Site Council to make important decisions that impact our school
We Need You at Back to School Night, Parent Teacher Conferences, Science Nights, Literacy Nights, Open House, and Fall Festival
Thank you to all of our volunteers who so generously came together during to coordinate the fall festival. Time is valuable, and your willingness to contribute some of that valuable time to the fall festival, shows your commitment to the well-being of your child and all of our students. If you’d like to be contacted when we start planning the Spring Festival please fill out the form below. We look forward to working with you again at the Spring Festival!
Please join us on Friday, December 22nd at 9:45 for our Holiday Program. Our Music Club Teacher, Ms. Pamela Knox has planned a wonderful morning of music and classroom performances. We will close the program with an old fashion sing-along.
