Dear Sewell-Anderson and Tracy Kindergarten Families, 
 
I hope you have enjoyed your summer. I am extremely excited to begin another school year at Sewell-Anderson Elementary School. I especially look forward to opening school with all students attending an in-person, full-day schedule. I welcome and value our families’ positive energy and dedication to excellence in education and I look forward to working with you and your children this school year. 
 
Our incredible staff is already planning and preparing for your children. Sewell-Anderson teachers participated in Blended Learning professional development. Our staff will also continue to participate in the equity training, Hope and Healing through Active Anti-Racism. Teachers are planning lessons, developing concept maps, and anchor charts, and technology to promote comprehension, higher order thinking skills and independence. We will continue with this work throughout the school year to deliver powerful lessons to your children. 
 
The PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is gearing up to welcome families, provide volunteer opportunities, and offer other exciting events and programs. We work together to provide our students with a caring community with common goals of nurturing caring, responsible students and promoting rigorous learning. 
 
I am looking forward to meeting all the children and families at Sewell Anderson. I believe teamwork and high expectations move a school forward and provide a place where children thrive and learn. I am excited about this opportunity to serve your community. 
 
Sincerely, 
Sue Garrity 
 
Principal 
Sewell Anderson Elementary School
