Principal’s Message

Dear Panther Lake families,

As we welcome a new year, it’s a wonderful time to reflect, reset, and set positive intentions for the months ahead. The start of the year offers a great opportunity to build strong habits that support our students’ success both in and out of the classroom.

We encourage families to consider incorporating school-related habits into your New Year’s resolutions. Simple routines can make a powerful difference for children. Setting consistent bedtimes, establishing a regular homework or reading time, and ensuring students arrive at school on time each day help create a sense of stability and readiness to learn. Encouraging daily reading, practicing math facts, and having conversations about what your child is learning at school also strengthen academic growth and confidence.

Just as important are habits that support social and emotional well-being. Talking with your child about kindness, responsibility, perseverance, and respect helps reinforce the values we emphasize at school. Celebrating effort, not just outcomes, teaches children that learning is a journey and that mistakes are part of growing.

When families and schools work together to promote positive habits, students thrive. Thank you for your continued partnership and commitment to your child’s education. We look forward to a year filled with growth, learning, and success for every student.

Wishing you and your family a happy, healthy, and hopeful New Year.

Warm regards,
 

Dr. Christine Szymanski
Principal
