Greetings Parents & Guardians,

It is an honor to begin my first year as principal of James R. Ludlow Elementary School. Each school year is especially important in the overall development and growth of your child, as a learner, as a son/daughter, as brother/sister, and ultimately as a productive contributing member of society. I take tremendous pride and care in knowing that you are entrusting the well-being of your child to my staff and I every day. It is my responsibility to create a safe and clean learning environment for your child, making sure their school experience is enjoyable and filled with life long memories while offering them a quality education.

My top priorities for the school year are teaching and learning, attendance, and parental/ community engagement. Beginning with teaching and learning, students will receive a high-quality education that expands their minds, connects with who they are, and challenges them to grow as individuals. Our goal for this year is that at least 30% of our students receive an A or a B in core courses. We will also focus on your child’s attendance. Regular school attendance is the key to your child’s success in school. Our goal for attendance this year is that at least half (46%) of our students will attend 95% of the school year. We acknowledge and celebrate those students contributing to our achievement of both our academic and attendance goals. However, we cannot achieve our goals, nor can we make your child’s educational experience a success without your support and your input. I am committed to creating opportunities for parents to become active members of the Ludlow School Community. We will have a variety of events and activities throughout the year where parents will be encouraged to attend. In addition, there will be opportunities for parental input and feedback to help with shaping the present and future vision of Ludlow Elementary School.

In closing, I am excited for this upcoming school year and the opportunity to collaborate with you as we work to make your child’s experience at James R. Ludlow unforgettable.

Sincerely,

Khary Moody

Principal
