Greetings to all Stakeholders of Susie Dasher STEAM Elementary School!
“The function of education is to teach one to think intensively and to think critically. Intelligence plus character – that is the goal of true education.” - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
The above words, spoken by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., capture the very essence of who we are and what we are all about at Susie Dasher Elementary. Our mission is to educate through the process of STEAM in all academic areas in order to prepare students to be effective communicators, problem solvers, and lifelong learners. In the process, we also aim to instill values which will enable our students to become productive citizens of future society. All efforts of the Susie Dasher STEAM community are done with a sense of PRIDE:
Personal Responsibility,
Respect,
Integrity,
Discipline, &
Excellence.All of us at Susie Dasher Elementary School are eager and excited to begin what promises to be the best year ever! We will continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and build relationships. As the Instructional Leader of this professional learning community, my top priorities include increasing student achievement through improving teacher quality and effectiveness in the classroom and increasing parental involvement that promotes clear support of the instructional program at SDE. It is also important to me that everyone who steps through our doors is excited to be here and immediately feels a sense of family and PRIDE! Such an attitude will enable us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment.
As I begin my ninth year as Principal of this GREAT SCHOOL, please know that I am energized and deeply committed to making a positive difference in the lives of your children. By employing highly qualified teachers and support staff, positively engaging all of our stakeholders, and providing a quality learning environment with adequate resources, TOGETHER we will produce successful students who are college and career ready without mediation.
We are very pleased that you have shown interest in our school, and I look forward to working with each of you this school year. Let’s make it the best one yet!
