Dear Modern Knowledge Elementary Families,

Welcome to the 2024/25 school year! I am looking forward to another great year.  This year, we are continuing to have a strong focus on providing a high level of engaging instruction for all students and will work hard to bridge any gaps that students may have.  In order to help us achieve this goal, we have created an individualized learning block within the schedule called What I Need Time (WIN).  During this time students will receive instruction on their level through small groups and utilize individualized digital pathways that cater to their needs.  At the same time, we will ensure that all students have the opportunity to learn in a supportive and positive environment.  This includes continuing our Mindful Mondays and Positive Behavior programs along with new initiatives to support ALL students. 

At the Elementary School, we will continue to have high academic standards for all students, to include providing opportunities for students to engage in critical thinking, hands-on, and creative learning experiences.  All staff at the Elementary School are committed to the school’s mission of developing respectful, responsible, global-minded citizens that contribute to creating a more peaceful world.  Our teachers promote this with engaging lessons that are aligned to the AERO Standards and that build 21st Century skills. The staff at the Elementary School take pride in getting to know each individual student in order to provide the best possible learning environment. 

It is also important that we continue to grow our partnership with parents by providing opportunities for involvement.  This includes expanding our activities and events programs so parents can see first-hand the learning that is taking place.  I encourage all parents to provide us feedback so we can continue to grow and provide the best possible educational experience for your child. 

I am so grateful to be a part of this amazing community and am looking forward to collaborating with you in order to make this an outstanding school year. 

Sincerely, 

Marlies Kreutzberger
