Dear students, teachers, staff, and parents of Kuser Elementary School,
I am delighted and honored to introduce myself as the new Principal of Kuser Elementary School. My name is Sra. Peake, I am thrilled to join this remarkable educational community.

Every Day Counts!
As the school year begins, we want to emphasize the importance of a holistic and collaborative approach to education. When students, parents, teachers, and the community work together to create a positive and supportive environment, it can lead to better academic outcomes and personal growth for all involved.
Our theme this year is "Every Day Counts." Our theme encompasses seven principles that will guide us through our journey. I invite you to join me on a reflective journey aimed at honoring our theme.
- Every Day Counts: This emphasizes the importance of consistent attendance and engagement in the educational process. Regular attendance ensures that students take advantage of valuable learning experiences. What can we each do to ensure that we make every day counts?
- Community Contribution: Education is not just the responsibility of teachers and schools; it's a collective effort. Parents, teachers, students, and the broader community can all contribute to the educational journey. This can include volunteering, providing resources, or simply offering moral support. How can I contribute to our collective success and growth?
- Celebrating Unique Gifts: Every student has unique talents, abilities, and interests. Recognizing and celebrating these differences can boost students' self-esteem and motivation. It also encourages them to explore their passions and potential. How can I honor, respect, and celebrate the diversity that makes us a strong community of learners?
- Supporting Individual Success: While celebrating uniqueness, providing individualized support is crucial. Students have different learning styles and paces. Tailoring education to meet their specific needs helps them succeed. How can I support my student's academic and socio-emotional growth?
- Honoring and Celebrating Strengths: Beyond students, this principle extends to the entire community. Recognizing and appreciating the strengths and contributions of each community member, whether it's a teacher's dedication or a parent's involvement, creates a positive atmosphere. What are my strengths? What are the strengths of others, and how can I learn from others?
- Building a Community: This emphasizes that education is not just about academics; it's about creating a supportive and inclusive community. A robust educational community can have a lasting impact on students' lives. How can I contribute to our community and collective goals?
- Celebrate Success: Recognizing and celebrating big and small achievements can motivate students to continue striving for success. It also reinforces that hard work and dedication are valued and acknowledged. Remember to celebrate success! This encourages and inspires us to continue to grow and learn.
Showing up matters for R.E.A.L!
Showing up matters for R.E.A.L. It is an opportunity to:
Build Routines

Routines: Daily attendance routines, created at home or in school, can reduce stress for students and families and create a sense of safety and security, especially after chaotic transitions.
Engagement: Being in school helps students to get to know peers, teachers and school staff, and to create trusting relationships that motivate students to participate in learning.
Access to Resources: Schools help students and families gain access to basic resources such as meals, physical and mental health services, and fun enrichment activities including sports, clubs, music, afterschool and summer programs.
Learning: Learning is most meaningful when it is active, social, and allows students to apply concepts to real life situations. Showing up to school regularly helps students engage in learning that builds proficiency in reading and math that will help them to graduate from high school.
