Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to McDowell Mountain Elementary School and another exciting year. Each year we have new goals for the high achievement and success of our students in all areas of our educational program. Our challenges are exciting, and our many successes will come from working hard together.

Your job as a parent or student is to be the best you can be in all parts of your life? At McDowell Mountain, we stress citizenship, academics, cooperation, and good attendance. Our theme is teamwork and support of each other. All we can ask of you is to become involved in our school and be a positive contributor. Our high quality and dynamic staff firmly believes that every student can learn.

We believe it is our responsibility to promote a safe, nurturing atmosphere that encourages in each student self-discovery, self-assurance, independence, and pride in school, community, and personal accomplishments.

We urge you to become involved in our school, communicate your thoughts and feelings, aim high, establish goals, and let us help you to achieve them. Have a super great year!

Sincerely,

Joanne Meehan, Principal
