Dear Parents/Guardians,
As we wrap up this school year, I want to take a moment to thank you for the warm welcome and incredible support throughout my first year as principal at Erie Elementary. It’s been a joy getting to know our students, families, and staff, and I’m so proud of all we’ve accomplished together. This year has been filled with growth, learning, and community. I am so honored to have been chosen to be the principal of this amazing school and to be a part of the Erie community. Thank you for partnering with us to make this a successful year for your children. I am excited to start planning for year two!
Wishing you all a restful and joyful summer,
Mrs. Smythe
