It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the Principal of Los Lunas Elementary School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such persevering students, an extremely dedicated and professional staff, and a supportive and truly special school community. I feel very fortunate to have been a part of this school for the past year in the role of Assistant Principal and am excited and eager to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success.
Along with the teachers and staff, I will work hard to continue the momentum of success established by LLE by continuing to build and strengthen relationships with parents, students, and community partners. We will continue to focus on character education initiatives such as Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), our TIGER Dads program, focus on high quality, rigorous, data-driven instruction, and to provide a place where our children can grow and blossom into people capable of achieving more than they ever thought possible, but which we as parents, teachers, and staff, have always known they are capable of.
All of us at LLE are eager and excited to begin what promises to be a fantastic school year. We will continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and help them build relationships while making real-world connections. As your principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors is excited to be here! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, fun, and nurturing environment, that has been the hallmark of the LLE culture for years. Most importantly, I, as well as the entire staff at LLE, believe that students are at the center of all school-related decisions. I am excited to unite my experience, my openness to learn, and my child-centered approach to supporting our students. Because the relationships between families and the school are vital to the success of our students, I encourage you to become involved in every way possible.
With Warmest Regards and Deepest Appreciation,
Matt Pendrak
Principal, Los Lunas Elementary School
