Leading with Excellence
Dear College Park Families,
We’ve made it through August, and September is here! The first month of school tested our routines, resilience, and readiness, and together we’ve built a strong foundation for success.
This month, we are focused on finishing our Strong Start. With just nine days left in this push, we are encouraging students to:
-
Show up every day – attendance matters.
-
Follow school routines – consistency creates success.
-
Celebrate learning – joy and growth go hand in hand.
At College Park, we believe in habits that last a lifetime: Think Win-Win, Begin With the End in Mind, and Put First Things First. These habits guide not only our students, but all of us as a community.
Thank you for your continued partnership. Your support at home makes all the difference in our ability to reach our goals and lead with excellence.
With gratitude and belief,
Dr. Maisha N. Otway
Principal, College Park Elementary School
