From the Desk of Dr. Edwards!

To My Beloved 19121 Community,

Greetings and welcome to the 2021-22 school year at William D. Kelley School!  I would like to extend a warm welcome to all our 19121 community, inclusive of everyone, that continues to champion our success!

As my heartwork remains committed to ensuring that all students of the W.D. Kelley Elementary School are advanced and proficient. I will continue working to foster and support a positive school culture where teachers, students, and educational leaders understand their roles and assume them. I still remain firm in my beliefs; students have an obligation to learn, educators to educate, and caregivers and school leaders must ultimately support the roles of Kelley scholars and educators.

Please know that it is the responsibility of the entire Kelley School Staff to foster a caring learning environment where every student recognizes that they are capable of getting smarter every day as they work to acquire the high-level skills to successfully compete with their peers anywhere in the world.   We believe, and act on the belief, that scholars will become productive citizens who will always work to change our world for the better!

We anticipate that this handbook will be a valuable resource to help guide your pursuit of school excellence. It is highly recommended that caregivers and scholars read this handbook together.

As always, please remember that parent voices are encouraged to remain part of the dialogue centered on student achievement. This year we will continue working to effectively partner with you, as we must work in collaboration to strengthen our school community.

We look forward to a productive school year as we stay committed to Greatness!

 

In Service,

Dr. Crystal M. Edwards, Principal
