It is with great pleasure that I welcome you, as part of our educational
family, to another wonderful school year. 

Our staff has been very busy this summer. We have participated in staff development workshops and trainings which enabled us to further our expertise in various curriculum areas and refine classroom management skills. We also have spent valuable time previewing instructional materials for use in our educational programs. 

Our focus is always providing each child with new challenges that will result in a rewarding school experience.  We will be continuing and refining our “Safe, Kind and Responsible” behavior program.   Students are taught what it means to be safe, kind and responsible in every school location and then intermittently rewarded when they are caught being safe, kind and responsible. 

As we begin this year, please remember that this is your school and we welcome your involvement.  Since we recognize that parents are their children’s first and most important teachers, we need your cooperation and involvement to provide your child with the best education possible. Take time to review and/or talk with your children about their school experiences. Your interest and concern in their school progress will motivate them to do their best. Maintain contact with your child’s teachers and related service staff members to establish a successful home/school connection.  To begin you may want to visit our Facebook page, H L Suverkrup Elementary School or Twitter @ Suverkrup.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call our office at 928-373-3500 or click on my name at the end of this letter to send me an email.  I look forward to working with you and your child throughout the school year to provide a productive and safe learning environment that leads to student achievement.

In education,

Kari Neumann
