PRINCIPAL’S MESSAGE

It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter to start my second year as Principal of Park Avenue Elementary School. 

Along with the teachers and staff, I will work hard to grow the students' success by building strong relationships with parents, students and community partners.  We will focus on character education initiatives, Standards of Learning skills, the use of data to drive instruction, and to provide consistent implementation of the curriculum in a rigorous manner so that we can increase all of the students' achievement.

All of us at Park Avenue Elementary School are eager and excited to begin what promises to be the best year ever.  This year is going to be amazing as we continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and help them build relationships while making real-world connections.  As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors-teachers, students and parents-are excited to be here!  This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment.  My door is always open and I welcome your input.  Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year. 

I look forward to working with you as a team to help each student at Park Avenue meet their goals and have a successful school year!

Best Regards,

Elizabeth Bennett
