• Principal Update - Week of June 2nd-6th

    Welcome

    I want to extend a heartfelt thank you for the warm welcome during my first week as your new principal. It has been truly exciting to be at Turner Creek Elementary full time and to spend time with students and staff throughout the day in classrooms, hallways, and everywhere in between.

    I’ve especially enjoyed meeting many of you and beginning to connect with our wonderful PTA team. Your support and enthusiasm have made my transition into this role incredibly special.

    In the coming weeks, I’ll be hosting an informal gathering for families to share feedback and ideas about how we can continue to grow and strengthen our school community. I look forward to hearing your thoughts and working together to ensure the success and well-being of every student at TCE.

    Thank you again for your kindness and partnership. I am excited for all that lies ahead!
