Welcome Back Antietam Families to the new 2011-2012 school year!  It is hard to believe that it is time to open our doors for another great year. We are very excited to welcome our new and returning Antietam families, and hope you are anticipating the many wonderful learning opportunities that this school year will bring to all of our students.  We hope you all were able to have some time to reconnect and relax with your families. I know I have always appreciated the extra time with my family. 

We have been working hard all summer long to prepare for the opening of our new school year.  We look forward to working with you in order to build upon the many successes that we had during the 2010-2011 school year. We should all be very pleased with the performance Antietam students demonstrated on the Standards of Learning tests. This success should be celebrated by all in our school community as each of us had an important role in helping our children achieve at such high levels.  We would also like to commend you, the parents, for supporting the learning that takes place within our walls each day, and the staff for working hard to ensure that all of our students learn and are excited about school. Most importantly, we would like to recognize our students for working hard, staying committed and not giving up even when faced with tough challenges!

We at Antietam Elementary School are committed to your child’s educational excellence and providing an outstanding learning environment for every child. We believe that all children can learn and be successful. We provide a challenging curriculum, taught by dedicated and knowledgeable staff, who believes in a strong school /community partnership.  We work hard to meet the needs of the learning and working styles of all children.  Collaboration, cooperation, and open communication between home and school are keys to building a strong foundation for a successful school year.  Thank you for entrusting your child to us.  We look forward to teaching and caring for your child and working closely with your family.  Your support and involvement will make a difference.

We encourage and invite parent and community involvement in order to create a positive and successful academic environment.  Please remember that we have an open door policy and encourage you to visit and to volunteer!  Let’s all work together to build success for every student!
