Dear Students, Staff, Parents:

Welcome to Corinth Elementary School where we are more than just a school; we are an extension of our students’ families.  As principal I take great pride in the sense of community we have built within our school and the warm, welcoming environment we have created for both current and future families that walk through our doors.  My goal, and the goal of my staff, is to provide a safe, supportive and cooperative place of learning for all of our students. Corinth Elementary has an environment where we celebrate our student diversity and develop a climate of respect, while encouraging our students to continuously strive for their personal best.

Below are our Belief Statements:

• Education is certainly worth the commitment of time, money, and effort.

• Education is a cooperative effort of parents, students, staff, and community.

• All students are unique individuals with varied interest and abilities.

• All students can be successful learners based on their ability.

• All students have a right to be educated to the fullest potential.

• Students should be encouraged to explore their potential.

• High expectations directly affect performance.

• Every individual has worth and deserves respect and dignity.

• A nurturing, safe environment is conducive to learning.

 I am also a firm believer that the parents and guardians of our students play an equally important role in every child’s learning experience.  I encourage parents and guardians to be active participants in the daily learning activities and school experiences of their children.  An open, two-way path of communication is vital to the success of our students.

Learning at Corinth Elementary takes place in many shapes and forms. We hope that our efforts toward balancing the serious aspects of learning with the fun of experimenting, and the satisfaction of persevering and the joy of succeeding are more than enough reasons for you and your children to feel at home in our “family”. Our teaching methods create a strong foundation for positive, life-lasting attitudes, skills and memories for our students.  Thank you for being a part of our journey.

In conclusion, I wish you all a wonderful school year.  If I can be of any assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me and know that my door is always open.  I can be reached at tracy.allison@cherokee1.org.   I am honored to serve as your principal.

Let the learning begin!
