Dear Nob Hill Elementary Families,

Welcome to a new and exciting school year at Nob Hill Elementary! I hope you all had a restful and enjoyable summer break. As we embark on this journey together, I am thrilled to welcome back our amazing students, dedicated staff, and supportive families for what promises to be an out-of-this-world year!

Last year, we closed out with significant improvements in all academic areas, and we are committed to building on that success in the upcoming year. Our theme, "Nob Hill Elementary is Out of this World," reflects our enthusiasm and dedication to creating an extraordinary educational experience for every student.

At Nob Hill Elementary, we believe that strong relationships are the foundation of student academic and personal success. This year, we will focus on fostering connections between students, teachers, and families to ensure that every child feels supported and motivated to reach their full potential. Collaboration between the school and families is crucial for achieving the best possible outcomes for our students. I encourage each of you to get involved in your child’s education, whether it’s through volunteering, attending school events, or simply maintaining open lines of communication with teachers and staff. Your engagement makes a world of difference.

As we set our sights on the year ahead, let’s work together to make it a stellar one! My door is always open, and I welcome your input, ideas, and feedback. Together, we can ensure that Nob Hill Elementary truly is out of this world!

Here’s to an incredible year filled with growth, learning, and success.

Warm regards,

Ms. Porter
