Dear Knightdale Elementary Families,

Welcome to another exciting year at Knightdale Elementary—where every child is known, valued, and supported! As principal, I’m proud to lead a school that celebrates diversity, centers students in all we do, and partners closely with families to create an environment where learning is meaningful and joyful.

At Knightdale Elementary, our mission is to provide a safe, caring, and inclusive school where students can thrive. We believe in high expectations and strong relationships, and we are committed to helping each child grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We challenge minds, experience joy, and inspire excellence—every single day.

Our instructional approach is grounded in rigor, relevance, and engagement. Teachers deliver high-quality, standards-based instruction that builds critical thinking, collaboration, and confidence in every learner. We meet students where they are and push them to reach their highest potential, ensuring all students are prepared for success in a changing world.

Equally important is the culture we create. Through our Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS) framework, we teach and reinforce positive behaviors school-wide, helping students develop strong character, social skills, and ownership over their actions. PBIS supports a consistent, caring environment where students know what’s expected and feel safe to take academic and personal risks.

We are proud to serve a richly diverse community that reflects the heart of Knightdale. We honor and celebrate that diversity, and we are committed to equity and inclusion in all we do. Families are essential partners in this work, and we invite you to stay engaged through communication, events, and shared celebrations throughout the year.

Thank you for being part of our Knightdale Elementary family. I look forward to a year filled with growth, discovery, and joy for every child.

With Knight Pride,

Monica Noa
Principal
Knightdale Elementary School
