Principal's Corner

Welcome Families!

Dear Parents and Students,

Welcome to Vicenza Elementary School, home of the Cougar Cubs! We are a school community that cares about our children and understands the sacrifices that our military families make. Our faculty and staff have shared values and a commitment to academic excellence. We are in our fourth year of the implementation of college/career ready standards. What this means for your children is that they have the opportunity to engage in authentic learning that will give them the tools to succeed in a constantly changing world.

I'd like to invite our families to play an active role in their children's education. We have a very active PTSA and School Advisory Committee. In addition, you are always welcome to volunteer in our classrooms.

I am very proud of our school. It has a large student population but, a small school feel. Come join us as we work together to help your children succeed.
Allison Peltz, Principal
