Dear Lonsdale Community,
I hope you are having a fabulous summer! Summer isn’t over, but we are gearing up for this upcoming school year at Lonsdale Elementary School!
I want to extend a special welcome to our Kindergarten Class of 2037 and all the new families joining Lonsdale this year, and welcome back to our returning families! I am honored to be your principal. Our goal at Lonsdale is to work together to provide our students with a rich learning environment. My vision, as the principal, is ALWAYS to put kids first! All students can learn. You will find that this is a great place to be and that our staff always puts the students’ best interests first throughout our daily journey together. Our staff is committed, focused, and extremely dedicated to our families and young people.
We look forward to having a fantastic year as your child(ren) continues (s) on or begins their educational journey! Our staff is committed to making this year a wonderful experience for all. I am truly looking forward to a great year.
