From The Principal
Greetings Dresden Elementary Community,
I hope you are having a wonderful summer and are getting ready for a great year here at Dresden Elementary. As we enter the school year it is important to keep focus on building a strong future for all of our students. No longer will our students be competing for high paying jobs with only the students down the street. They will be competing for jobs with students from every part of the world. It has to be the first priority of all of us to work together to make sure that our students will be ready to succeed.
The number one indicator of a child's future success is a child's academic ability. This ability is not something that is set in stone. Learning is not something that is given to some and taken from others. Learning is earned by hard work and dedication!
I encourage and expect all students to learn more than you think you can and to become a better student each and every day. This includes coming to school ready to learn, respecting yourself and others and doing your very best every day. In return I can promise that the staff of Dresden Elementary and I will do the same. There is no time for not trying. There is no time for not giving your all and there is not time for misbehaving. We have to much work to do and the stakes are too high!
This is our time to work together to make sure that our students are preparing themselves for their future. I encourage all parents to talk to their children about what is going on is school. Talk with your child's teacher about any concern you may have and please contact myself if there is anything I can do to assist. Working together we will create a positive future for our students.
On August 27th from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. our PTO will be hosting a Back to School picnic. All Dresden families are welcome to attend. All year long we will be focusing on using our Respect Skills and our zero bullies allowed policy. This policy is in place to enhance our positive school climate.
As always we are here to insure your child's future. We are here to teach our students the skills that they will need in order to succeed. I look forward to working with you. If you have any questions or concerns, please come see me. My door is always open.
Principal Brad Suggs
