A Note From Your Principals
Dear Bonnie Brae,
We are so excited to be a part of the Scottie Dog Nation! It is an honor to serve such a warm and caring community! We looking forward to getting to know more about each and every one of your children and families!
Professionally, we have supported schools in grades Pre-K-6 as classroom teachers, instructional coaches, an advanced academics resource teacher and reading specialist. We bring those areas of expertise to our administrative team. We each have families that we love and enjoy spending time with!
Last year was an amazing school year! We are so proud of how hard our students and teachers have worked! We are equally proud of the collaboration between home and school! We look forward to collaborating with you for another school year!
Our partnership with you is valued. As such, our doors are always open. We will communicate weekly through the Pawsitive Post, Twitter and E-notify. This is a new system designed to share pertinent information in a timely manner with families. In addition, there will be parent-teacher conferences, quarterly progress reports and interims as needed to help keep you informed of your child’s academic strengths and areas of growth.
It’s going to be a great year!
Mrs. Cage, Principal
Mrs. Bennink, Assistant Principal
Mrs. Killingsworth, Assistant Principal
