A Message From the Principal
Jonathan G. VanderEls
Welcome to
the Memorial Elementary School webpage!
We are
continually striving to improve our methods of
communication with our community. It is due to the hard
work of teachers here at this school that you are able
to access these sites, and we hope you find them useful!
As
Principal, it is my pleasure to work with the dedicated
and professional staff we are fortunate to have here at
Memorial School. As a staff, we are constantly
reflecting on current practices while continuing to
research new practices, in an effort to ensure we are
providing each and every student with the best possible
educational experience, as well as the support each
individual needs to succeed. We continue to follow the
curriculum guidelines set forth by the Sanborn Regional
School District and the State of New Hampshire in our
planning and execution of the integrated, differentiated
lessons that accomplish these goals.
It is
our objective to provide each individual the academic
knowledge, social skills, and self-confidence needed to
be a productive member of our communities. Our
classrooms define the expected behaviors within each
class and the school community as a whole and model
these ideals in various ways based upon the “Responsive
Classroom” model. Respect and responsibility are traits
that are visibly present in our teaching and learning
throughout the school.
Memorial School fully recognizes the team effort needed
for this to be a success. We encourage our community
members to be involved in this process and greatly
encourage parents to be active participants in their
child’s education. There are many opportunities for
this, from volunteering at our school, being a member of
our strong Parent Teacher Organization, attending
Parent/Teacher conferences, or simply staying in contact
with your child’s teacher.
Thank
you for taking the time to visit with us. We hope you
have found the experience valuable.
