Dear SJW Families,


Welcome to the 2026-2027 School Year! Walking through our hallways these last few weeks, I have been filled with joy seeing our classrooms come alive with bright smiles, new friendships, and eager learners. The start of an elementary school year holds a special kind of magic and our entire staff is thrilled to welcome your children back to Williamson Elementary!


September is an incredibly important month for our learners as we focus on building campus culture and establishing routines. In the classroom our students aren't just learning reading and mathematics they are also learning how to collaborate, navigate new daily schedules, and practice independence. You can help support this growth at home by setting consistent early bed times, reading together for at least 20 minutes each night, and talking positively about their upcoming school day!


Education is a partnership between home and school. By working together, we can ensure that every child feels safe, valued, and excited to learn every single day. Thank you for your continued support, trust, and partnership. Let's make this year a year of incredible growth as we embark on our "Voyage to Victory!"


Sincerely,

Patrick Piazze-McMahon

Principal, Dr. Shirley J. Williamson Elementary


Estimadas familias de SJW,


¡Bienvenidos al año escolar 2026-2027! Al recorrer nuestros pasillos durante estas últimas semanas, me he llenado de alegría al ver cómo nuestras aulas cobran vida con sonrisas radiantes, nuevas amistades y estudiantes entusiastas. El comienzo de un año escolar en la primaria tiene una magia especial, ¡y todo nuestro personal está encantado de recibir nuevamente a sus hijos en la Escuela Primaria Williamson!


Septiembre es un mes sumamente importante para nuestros alumnos, ya que nos enfocamos en construir la cultura escolar y establecer rutinas. En el aula, los estudiantes no solo aprenden lectura y matemáticas, sino que también aprenden a colaborar, a adaptarse a nuevos horarios diarios y a practicar la independencia. Ustedes pueden apoyar este crecimiento desde casa estableciendo horarios constantes para acostarse temprano, leyendo juntos al menos 20 minutos cada noche y hablando de manera positiva sobre su próximo día de clases.


La educación es una colaboración entre el hogar y la escuela. Al trabajar juntos, podemos asegurar que cada niño se sienta seguro, valorado y entusiasmado por aprender cada día. Gracias por su continuo apoyo, confianza y colaboración. ¡Hagamos de este año un año de increíble crecimiento mientras nos embarcamos en nuestro "Viaje hacia la Victoria"!


Atentamente,


Patrick Piazze-McMahon

Director, Escuela Primaria Dr. Shirley J. Williamson
