Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope this letter finds you well and you are enjoying a wonderful summer. My name is Renee Ellingsworth-Albert, and I am thrilled to introduce myself as the new principal of Fatima Elementary School. Returning feels like coming home, as I previously spent ten years here as a teacher from 2011-2021. The last three years I served as the assistant principal at Lawson Elementary School in the Jefferson City School District.

 I am beyond excited to be back and to have the opportunity to work with your children once again. My time away has only deepened my appreciation for the strong sense of community and the dedication to learning here at Fatima Elementary School.

My primary goal is to foster a nurturing environment where every student feels valued, respected, and inspired to learn. I believe that strong relationships between students, teachers, and parents are the foundation of a successful educational experience. Together, we can create a supportive learning environment where our children can thrive both academically and personally.

I look forward to reconnecting with familiar faces and meeting new members of our school community. Please feel free to reach out to me with any questions, concerns, or ideas. Let's work together to make this school year one of growth, joy, and success for all our students.

Warm regards,

Renee Ellingsworth-Albert
Principal, Fatima Elementary School
