Principal's Message
Dear Overlook Community,
I hope this email finds you well and enjoying summer break. I am writing to you today as your new Overlook principal, and I am excited to start this journey with you. I have served as an educator for over 29 years. I have five children, and my wife Laurie is a school counselor at the Grizzly Academy.
I am honored to join a talented and dedicated staff and school community. Overlook has a long and proud history of academic excellence, and I am committed to continuing that tradition.
I believe that every child deserves a quality education. Our staff will continue to create a school environment where all students and staff feel safe, supported, and challenged. I am also excited to work with you and our staff to ensure that Overlook Elementary is a school where all students can reach their full potential.
I have been working hard to learn as much as I can about Overlook Elementary in the weeks leading up to the start of school. I have met with many of our staff and families, and I am impressed by the dedication and commitment of everyone involved in this school community. I am looking forward to meeting the rest of you in the coming weeks and months. I am excited to be a part of the Overlook Elementary family!
Sincerely,
David Ryder, Principal
Final Forms
Kindergarten Mingle
Many of the students in the Kindergarten Class of 2036 took part in our 1st Overlook Kindergarten Mingle. The students had a chance to play on the playground with their future classmates and meet our kindergarten teachers. It also allowed the parents to do some mingling of their own.
