Developing life-long learners through positive collaboration
Notes from Dr. Jacob
As we begin the new year, I want to thank our amazing MCE families for your continued partnership and support. Your involvement—both at home and at school—plays a vital role in our students’ success.
We look forward to celebrating student growth and achievements at our 2nd Quarter Celebration on Friday, January 9th at 8:30 a.m. Teachers will contact families of students who will be recognized.
January brings fresh starts and renewed focus as we continue building on the strong foundation from first semester. Thank you for being an important part of our MCE community as we work together to develop life-long learners through positive collaboration.
With gratitude,
Dr. Jacob
Principal, Montgomery City Elementary
