Dear Wessagusset Families,
I want to thank you for making time to join the Parent Council gathering at the playground last Thursday evening so I could meet you. It was so nice to begin putting faces to the names I have been reading over the summer. As the new principal of Wessagusset Elementary, I am truly excited to join this community and begin this journey together. I bring almost ten years of experience as a school leader, but more importantly, I bring a deep love for working with children, supporting families, and building strong school communities. I am eager to get to know you and your children and to work alongside you to make this a wonderful year for every student.
The new school year is just around the corner, and we have been working hard this summer to prepare our school for all those smiling faces to walk through our doors on September 4th. Classrooms are being set up, hallways refreshed, and teachers are busy planning engaging lessons. We know the first days of school can bring both excitement and a few jitters, and our exceptional staff is ready to make every student feel welcomed, supported, and confident. A successful year is built on strong partnerships between home and school, and we look forward to working together to ensure that every child has a positive and rewarding year academically, emotionally, and socially.
At the heart of our work is a commitment to fostering a strong sense of belonging for our students, staff, and families. We strive to create an environment where every child feels safe, supported, and proud of who they are, and where staff feel respected and empowered to do their best work. Families, too, are an essential part of this partnership, and we value the unique perspectives and contributions each one brings to our school. When every member of our community feels seen, valued, and included, our school not only thrives, it becomes a place where everyone can learn, grow, and succeed together.
We are truly excited for the year ahead and the many opportunities it will bring for our students to learn, grow, and shine. Thank you for your partnership and support, you are an essential part of our school community. Mrs. Reinhart and I are proud to serve as your school leaders. You will see both of us out and about each day, greeting students, visiting classrooms, and connecting with families. Together, we are committed to ensuring every child feels welcomed, supported, and inspired to do their best.
As you read on, we hope you find the information below both informative and helpful as you plan for the new school year. Enjoy the remaining days of summer, and we look forward to welcoming our students in grade 1 through 5 on Thursday, September 4th, and our kindergarten students on Monday, September 8th, for a wonderful start to the school year!
With gratitude and excitement,
Mrs. Tanna Jango, Principal
Mrs. Heidi Reinhart, Assistant Principal
