Principal's Message

 

I hope this message finds you well and enjoying the final days of summer! On behalf of the entire Alcott Elementary staff, it is my absolute pleasure to welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year.

 

Whether you are a returning family or new to our community, we are excited to begin another year of learning, growth, and discovery with you and your child. At Alcott, our guiding belief is simple but powerful: Children Come First. This core value shapes every decision we make and every experience we design. We are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child is known, valued, and inspired to thrive.

We are fortunate to have an incredibly talented and caring staff—teachers, specialists, paraprofessionals, and support personnel—who work collaboratively to ensure each student receives the support and challenge they need. Our team brings both expertise and heart to their work, and they are ready to make this school year full of joyful learning and meaningful connections.

 

As we begin the year, I encourage open communication and strong partnerships between home and school. Your involvement and support are critical to your child’s success, and we deeply value the trust you place in us each day.

Thank you for being a part of the Alcott community. We can’t wait to see your children’s bright smiles as we welcome them back—because at Alcott, Children Come First.

 

Warmly,
Matthew Calabrese
Principal, Alcott Elementary School
