2022-2023 Elementary Handbook & Program of Studies

Dear Elementary Families,

It is with great RAM PRide that I would like to welcome
you to our K-3 Elementary Schools. We are looking
forward to a productive 2022-2023 school year focused
on learning. Our elementary buildings utilize a K -3
structure that thrives on creating positive experiences
that build academic, social, and emotional learning. One
of our main goals is for students to come to school and
feel engaged throughout the entire school day. In order
to fully engage our students, we feel that parent
engagement is essential as well. Throughout the school
year, we look forward to collaboration with you through
various opportunities as well as through the separate
Elementary building PTO.

The elementary schools offer fantastic learning
environments for all of its students. In order to create a
conducive learning environment for all students, all
stakeholders must work together as a team to foster
student growth and achievement as part of educating the
whole child. The Elementary staff is adept at working
diligently to focus on learning for every student every
day. The students at our elementary schools also work very hard and continually strive to do their best on a daily
basis, which is evidenced by their achievement, growth, and continual engagement in learning. The K- 3 experience
at Hance, Richland and Wexford Elementary Schools feature active student engagement that fosters learning to read,
write, understand numbers, critically think, problem solve and engage in inquiry. We hope to continually inspire
students to love to learn so that they develop the foundational skills that will allow them to be successful as they move
to the upper elementary grades.

In the year ahead, we will work together to continually exude a student-centered environment that supports the
mission, vision, and values of the Pine-Richland School District keeping in mind that learning is our primary purpose.
By focusing on learning for every student every day, we will provide tailored and rigorous instruction that meets each
student’s unique strengths and needs. As we design and develop learning experience for our students, we also keep
in mind the vision for the district and embed opportunities that occur both inside and outside the classroom. This
student-centered and team approach will help the students reach their fullest potential.

The upcoming school year is set to include academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant and help
students develop positive, appropriate relationships. We are excited and encouraged about the time ahead of us. If
you have any questions, please feel free to contact our school office. We look forward to working with you as a team
so that our Elementary students can experience a successful school year and educational career in the Pine- Richland
School District.

Educationally Yours,

The K-3 Elementary Principals
