Dear Colonial Acres August 22, 2018
On behalf of the entire Colonial Acres staff, we want to welcome parents, guardians and students to a new year at Colonial Acres Elementary School. We look forward to working with you and your children in their educational journey.
My name is Kathy LaCome and it is my sincere pleasure to introduce myself as the new principal of Colonial Acres Elementary School. I have worked at Colonial Acres as the Vice Principal for the past two years and am excited to step into the Principal role. I am humbly honored to continue working with this community.
We are lucky to have Mr. Olivares continue to work with Colonial Acres as our Vice Principal for the upcoming school year. He has worked hard to improve academic outcomes for our students and to also enhance our climate and culture as a school community. He is excited to come back and is looking forward to working not only with Colonial Acres, but Hesperian Elementary School as well.
It is our vision that all children can learn when we embrace the whole child, valuing their experiences, families, and cultures. When we embrace the whole child we build on their strengths to engage them academically, socially and emotionally. Parents, teachers, support staff, and administration all have an important role to encourage our children to become active learners. It is my sincere desire to provide expanded opportunities for our students to acquire the skills to become productive citizens in a vastly changing world.
We anticipate a most successful year as the school community continues to support the academic, social, and emotional growth of your child here at Colonial Acres Elementary School.
