Welcome to Our School!
Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to our school community! Whether you are a returning family or new to our school, we are so thrilled you’re here. Serving students from preschool through grade 5, our school is a place where curiosity is encouraged, friendships are nurtured, and each child is celebrated for who they are.
This year, you have new leadership at Winthrop Grade School. I am honored to join this vibrant community as your new principal. With a deep passion for early childhood and elementary education, and having been a teacher, literacy specialist, course instructor, MTSS coordinator and administrator, I bring a wealth of experience to our school. I am committed to building strong relationships with students, staff, and families, and ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and inspired to learn.
The early years of education lay the foundation for lifelong learning. Our dedicated staff is committed to providing a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where students can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. From hands-on learning experiences to meaningful traditions, we strive to make every school day joyful and enriching. Our core values of respect, compassion, integrity, responsibility, and cooperation are taught and expected of our students.
Families are an essential part of our success, and we value the partnership between home and school. We encourage you to stay connected, get involved, and reach out with any questions or ideas.
