Dear Parents and Guardians,

 It is my extreme pleasure to welcome you to another fantastic year at Stanaford Elementary School. I cannot wait to see what my third year as Principal of the Huskies holds. As always, I am energized and deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of your children. We will accomplish this together by setting high academic expectations for all children and providing supportive systems to assure they are met.  

Some of our goals include continuing to increase math and reading proficiency for the school. One way we can achieve those academic goals is by also meeting our attendance goal of having a 93% or higher attendance rate each week. We also want to continue to increase parental and community involvement at Stanaford.

We are achieving great things here at Stanaford, but we want to continue to grow by setting goals and working towards achieving those goals daily. This year we continue to evolve in our understanding of what is means to LEAD as part of our PBIS expectations. We earned our Bronze medal and are on our way to attaining our Silver. We want all of our Huskies to identify what area: Leading Respectfully, Embracing Honesty, Acting Responsibly, or Displaying Kindness they feel is an area in which they need to cultivate and develop. We hope that they make that an area in which they prioritize their focus. Even small Huskies can make big moves in character development!

I encourage you to visit our website often for special events and communication. I also would love to see you participate in as many events as you can with your student. We welcome your involvement and participation and look forward to working with you and your student as we strive toward an academically successful 2025-26 school year.

Sincerely,

Elizabeth McDaniel
