Principal's Message

Dear RHS Community,

I want to welcome you to the 2010-2011 School Year at Redwood Heights Elementary School!

It is our school's vision that like redwood trees, our students will have widely spread roots, achieve great heights and be able to weather storms. Our students will be responsible academically and socially, and support each other like the redwood trees: in groves. Students will use critical thinking skills to make positive contributions to their community and the world. The collegial adult culture and passion that the adults exhibit for learning is the soil in which the saplings, our students, take root and soar.

Our school's vision is a great analogy for the work that our community must do together to ensure that each and every student is successful. We must come together as a community to work through any challenges and create a place where all children are recognized as individuals and receive the support that they need from all community members so that they are able to thrive. We also must remember to celebrate our strength as a unified community and our many joint accomplishments.

We, as a community, must remember our commitment to our children and remain committed to working with one another to uphold all that makes our school the amazing place that it is for children.

I am excited about the journey we are taking together and I know that our year will be a positive, community building, and triumphant one.

As always, my door is always open. Please contact me with any ideas, questions, concerns, and celebrations!

Sincerely,

Sara Stone
