Welcome Red Rockets!
We are "Ready to Rock" into the 2026–2027 School Year 🚀
Dear Stripling Elementary Families,
As the proud principal of Stripling Elementary, it is my honor to welcome our returning Red Rockets and new families to the 2026–2027 school year!
Our dedicated teachers and staff have been hard at work setting the stage for an extraordinary year ahead. Together, we are fully committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and high-achieving environment where every single child feels valued, supported, and inspired to reach their full potential.
Our theme for this school year is “Ready to Rock!” Throughout our classrooms and hallways, our Red Rockets will be staying RED-dy to Rocket by demonstrating:
-
Responsibility (Being Safe)
-
Empathy (Being Respectful)
-
Drive (Showing Effort)
We hold high expectations for student learning, daily attendance, and positive behavior through our PBIS framework because we know that strong, predictable routines build the foundation for academic success. At the same time, we believe school should be a place filled with joy, connection, and belonging. Expect a warm, supportive, and engaging energy in our building every single day!
Important Reminders for a Smooth Start:
School Hours: Doors open for arrival at 7:45 AM. Morning announcements begin at 8:10 AM, and instruction starts promptly at 8:15 AM. Dismissal is at 2:45 PM.
Attendance Matters: Daily attendance directly connects to student progress and achievement. Please help your child arrive on time every day, ready to learn!
Stay Connected: ParentSquare and Friday Folders are our primary tools for home-school communication. Please download the ParentSquare app to receive regular news, events, and classroom updates.
Strong partnerships between home and school are essential to every child's success. We invite you to stay engaged by attending our Title I events, family workshops, and school celebrations throughout the year.
Let's work together to make 2026–2027 our best year yet!
With appreciation and enthusiasm,
Dr. Genna McCurley
Principal, Stripling Elementary School
