Dear Pirate Family,
Welcome back to the 2023-2024 school year! PES faculty and staff are excited and ready to begin this year with rigorous instruction, engaged student learning and positive exciting family activities. Your children are in excellent hands, and we are so fortunate to have a strong, dedicated school community. As the developmental needs of our Pre-k and 5th grade students are different, we are one and committed to differentiating and integrating the learning we do to serve all our students and parents equally. Thank you for your continuous support in making PES such a successful, collaborative place where our children are always striving to achieve.
Please allow me to introduce to you our new Assistant Principal, Mrs. Christy Lang. She has been part of our Huntsville City School family for many years as a classroom teacher and/or administrator. She will be supervising and working closely supporting PES and our families. We are fortunate to have several new teachers on our faculty. Please welcome Mrs. Williams to Kindergarten, Ms. Sommer and Mrs. Fry to 1st grade, Mrs. White to 2nd grade, Mrs. Benton and Mrs. Miller to 3rd grade, Mrs. Kerkvliet and Mrs. Simmons to 5th grade, Mrs. Asfaha gifted teacher, and Mr. Cannon counselor. They all come to us with a wealth of knowledge and experience.
We are committed to strengthening the collaboration between our school and the families of each student. Please connect with us via our school class dojo and your child’s teacher’s Class dojo. Class dojo will keep continuous communication between home and school. School and student success depends on the support of the entire school community. Do not hesitate to contact me at 256-428-7125 and/or by email at Laura.Worshim@hsv-k12.org.
Here to serve,
Your Principal, Laura M. Worshim
