A Message from our Principal

Dear Parents/Guardians,

On behalf of the amazing faculty and staff of Shoally Creek Elementary School, I am excited to welcome you to our school family and team! In my first year as principal, I am honored to serve this growing and amazing community school. It is my belief that by providing a safe and positive environment, a caring and supportive staff, and rigorous lessons that challenge our learners, we will prepare them for an ever-changing society.

At SCES, student success is truly a team effort where parents, students, faculty, and staff work together. Our faculty and staff consistently focus on helping our students grow into responsible, organized, academic driven, respectful community members who have the skills and desire to be productive citizens. We are committed to providing highly effective instruction that leads to positive outcomes both now and in future endeavors. I truly believe that it takes a village to cultivate excellence in our students and ensure that all learners are successful.

One of the strengths of our school is the overwhelming support of our community. From parents volunteering in classrooms to parents supporting field trips and PTO fundraising events, the time and effort our community members put into our school helps us deliver the high-quality learning environment that our students deserve.

Again, at SCES, student success is truly a team effort! One of my favorite authors, Todd Whitakers, says the following about being in education, “Great teachers have high expectations for their students, but even higher expectations for themselves” Let us continue to set the example for our students, so that they accomplish great things in life!
 
Sincerely,
Johnny Rhode
