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.
