Principal’s Message
Dear Families.
Welcome to our school! As we open our doors to a fresh start, we are filled with anticipation for the opportunities that await us. Our commitment to fostering a nurturing environment that promotes academic excellence and personal growth remains steadfast. We are eager to welcome back our returning students and extend a warm greeting to the new members of our school family. Together, we will cultivate an intense sense of community, where every student feels valued, accepted, and encouraged to reach their full potential. Let us embark on this journey with optimism and a shared vision for a successful and enriching year ahead.
To our incoming Kindergarten students, we are so excited to have you join our school family. This is the beginning of a wonderful adventure where you will learn, play, and make new friends. In Kindergarten, you will discover many new things. You will learn about letters and numbers, explore the world around you, and create amazing art projects. Our teachers are here to help you every step of the way, and they cannot wait to meet you. Remember, it is okay to feel a little nervous. Starting something new can be a big step, but we are all here to support you. We believe in you and know that you will do remarkable things.
Please do not hesitate to call me with questions regarding your child. I welcome your suggestions, and I encourage your interest and active participation in preparing our students and community for the future. I have an open-door policy and welcome you to contact me by phone, in person, or by e-mail at diane.crooknichols@osceolaschools.net. Thank you for sharing your child (ren) with me. We cannot wait to see our students’ smiling faces on the first day of school! I look forward to a successful 2025 - 26 school year together!
Kind Regards,
Diane Crook-Nichols
