Dear Parents & Caregivers,
Welcome to the 2022-2023 school year! I would like to introduce myself! I am the new principal of West Broad Elementary School, and “excited” doesn’t even begin to describe how I feel about being a part of this family! I am SO honored to have been chosen to serve you and this community. I come to you with 32 years of experience, 17 in teaching and 15 in school leadership. I am an educator because I love children and because I love learning, and as an educator, I am able to blend the two and watch amazing things happen.
As we start our new school year journey together, I hope to make connections with all of you, and the staff and I will provide many opportunities to make that happen. It is my hope that you will experience West Broad as a place that nurtures and supports you and your children in every way. Please expect to receive a monthly newsletter from me where you will find useful information and community resources for you and your families.
West Broad Elementary believes in a strong partnership between home and school, so our students will excel in all areas of life. We firmly believe in accountability so that teachers, parents/caregivers, and students are all responsible for our young learners’ academic success. It truly takes a village to ensure students’ success in school and life; and we are thankful that you have put your trust in us. Make sure to look for upcoming messages from the school via the website, Class Dojo, newsletters, emails, texts, and/or your child’s teacher.
At West Broad, we strive for excellence to ensure every student is highly educated, prepared for leadership and service, and empowered for success as a citizen in a global community. I’m excited to work with you, and if you have questions, please reach out to me.
Sincerely,
Dr. Carey, Principal

Hi West Broad Families!
Welcome to the new school year! As you and your family get used to the new routines that come with the transition of back-to-school, I'd like to encourage you to take some time to set up your computer log-ins. This includes Class Dojo for staying in contact with your child's teachers, Clever (for Kindergarten only), and the Columbus City School's Parent Portal.
Taking some time now to make sure your CCS Parent Portal is active will help you save time through the school year, and all future school years, as your student's will need this throughout their entire time in CCS.
Go here to log into CCS Parent Portal --> https://www.ccsoh.us/Page/2437, scroll down, and click on either "Existing users can log in here" or "First Time User Activation."
Best,
Ms. Lizzie
West Broad Family Ambassador
