Principal Welcome

Dear Dr. S.G. Knight Families:  

Welcome to Dr. S.G. Knight Elementary School! It is an honor to serve as your principal this school year to continue the strong tradition of robust academic excellence. Our staff truly believes that Dr. S.G. Knight Elementary offers the utmost academic experiences and opportunities that will prepare and propel your child for the next chapter in their life.

This school year, your child will have access to the latest technology, with SMART boards in all classrooms and iPads for each student in PreK-5th grade. With this technology, our students will be exposed to a greater scope and sequence of learning and be pushed to higher academic levels.

At Dr. S.G. Knight, children's overall well being and building positive relationships come first. We have a nurturing staff that will expose children to the best instructional practices, meeting each child in their unique learning styles and needs. It is our goal that each student is challenged academically, but also feels valued, recognized, and welcomed each and every day.

Please take some time to read Dr. S.G. Knight’s Student Handbook. It contains helpful information on school policies and procedures, the school calendar, and important contacts. When reviewing the handbook with your child, please highlight and emphasize the importance of Flyer Pride! Flyer Pride is the term we use to describe exhibiting positive behaviors in all aspects of the school day. The four pillars of Flyer Pride are Safety, Responsibility, Respect, and Positive Attitude.  Each day, we expect our students and staff to exhibit Flyer Pride. Classrooms, staff, and students are recognized and celebrated constantly for modeling Flyer Pride.

We all want to express our utmost level of gratitude for selecting Dr. S.G. Knight Elementary School as your child’s foundational educational journey. Please join us as partners in your child’s education to ensure that each day they are supported as they grow academically, emotionally, and socially.

The staff and I look forward to a wonderful year with you and your child. Together we will make this a memorable and successful school year.

Sincerely,
