It is with great excitement that we welcome you back to the 2021-2022 school year! It seems that in the blink of an eye summer has given way to a new and exciting school year. As we reflect back on last school year, we are so proud of the work done by our students, parents, and teachers. We hope to build on the support and successes of last year and look forward to our continued partnership. As your Principal, I will continue to cultivate a school culture where all educational programs are conducive to student learning and development. As we begin the 2021-2022 school year, we must continue to set the bar for our goals high and surpass our greatest expectations. With the new school year comes a new sense of excitement and anticipation. Our academic focus will be classes that are guided by literacy, problem solving, critical thinking, and writing. In order to adequately prepare our students for secondary school and beyond, we feel strongly that these principles are necessary for student success. We hope to continue collaborating with all of you to find ways to provide our students the finest educational experience in our school system. If we continue to find ways to come together in the name of our students to meet the challenges that face us each school year, then we know we will be in for another outstanding year. I want to express my sincere appreciation to all of you for your pledge and commitment to Bent Tree Elementary School and the success of all our students. I am proud to lead the students and staff of Bent Tree Elementary through a wonderful school year!

Sincerely, Emily Falcon Principal
