A MESSAGE FROM MRS. FESTANTE

               WELCOME TO CALVIN COOLIDGE ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

We are excited to begin a new year and would like to take this opportunity to welcome our new Hillside families.

Our goal is to provide opportunities for all students to develop physically, emotionally and educationally.  We are proud of the quality of education Calvin Coolidge students receive and realize that success is in large part due to the support of the parents and the community.  The school recognizes its position in the partnership it enjoys with the families it serves.

All learning does not take place within the confines of the schoolhouse doors.  Indeed, the school stands second to home as the place exercising the greatest influence on what kind of person the child is now and will become.

Therefore, it is through the demonstration of mutual respect, understanding and cooperation between the school and home that our children can effectively learn and grow.

We look forward to a wonderful school year and to working closely with you to ensure the success of our students.     
           
                                                        Sincerely,
                                                        Sharon Ann Festante
                                                        Principal
