Dear Parents,  

It is my pleasure to be the principal of Seth Whitman Elementary School.  On behalf of the faculty, I would like to extend an invitation to visit us on our official website for District #100 and to come see us in person whenever possible.  This site will enable you to link with other schools and facilities within District #100 as well as know the resources that are available to all District 100 residents.

At Seth Whitman, we strive for excellence.  The staff's goal is to meet the educational needs of all students.  We understand that educating your child takes teamwork.  To insure educational success for your child, it is important that parents and faculty work together to keep lines of communication open and strong.

Parent/teacher conferences, direct contacts, notes home, assignment books, voice mail, work folders, and the monthly newsletter/calendar are just a few things that you can expect from teachers at Seth Whitman School to try to keep parents informed about school activities.  Parents, likewise, are encouraged to initiate their own contacts whenever they feel the need to discuss their child's progress.  Seth Whitman School is your school, and I invite you to become involved in your child's educational progress.

Parents are encouraged to become involved in the school's Parent-Teacher Organization and to volunteer their time during field trips, the annual fun fair and other school activities.  The PTO is an important way to network with other parents, and one of the few opportunities that you can get involved in decisions involving your child's education.

Sincerely,

Cindy Connor
