 Welcome to the 2007-2008 school year at Helke Elementary – a school
where staff and community members are dedicated to working with and
for your child. As our mission statement indicates, our goal is to
promote maximum academic, emotional, and social growth for all
students in an atmosphere of care and respect.
Please join us in this endeavor by supporting your child. I urge you
to discuss each school day with your child, carve out quiet time for
reading and homework, and listen carefully to his or her concerns,
hopes and dreams. Feel free to conference with the Helke teachers
and keep us informed about issues, questions, and concerns you may
have. Close ties between home and school are key ingredients to your
child’s success.
We invite you to become an active participant in our school programs
and activities and encourage you to volunteer as much as you like.
Our PTA is a wonderful organization dedicated to supporting quality
programming for the children and teachers in our school. Please
join! Your involvement in your child’s school is an important factor
in our success. We depend on you.
This website is designed to help you get to know our school. It
covers schedules, calendars, important health and safety
information, behavioral expectations, rules and regulations.
The rules can be defined simply. Students are expected to be eager
learners, to do their personal best, to respect and be careful of
the rights of others, and to take good care of all personal and
school property. The Helke staff is committed to modeling those
skills and attitudes for the children.
I am always happy to discuss any concerns or questions that you may
have regarding your child’s education at Helke. Please feel free to
contact me here at school. Meanwhile, I wish you and your family an
enjoyable as well as rewarding school year!
