Dear Parents and Guardians,
Welcome back to the 2024-25 school year! I hope you and your families have had a restful and enjoyable summer. As we get ready for this new academic year, I am excited to share our mission and focus for the coming months.
At Platte County School District #1, our commitment is to ensure that each student is engaged, challenged, connected, supported, and celebrated. We believe that these core principles are essential for creating a nurturing and effective learning environment where every child can thrive.
This year, our primary goal is to have all students learning at high levels in reading, writing, and math. We understand that proficiency in these foundational subjects is crucial for academic success and future opportunities. Our dedicated teachers and staff are committed to employing the best instructional strategies and resources to help every student achieve their full potential.

In addition to academic excellence, we are also focused on equipping our students with essential life skills that will prepare them for future careers and success. From critical thinking and problem-solving to collaboration and communication, our curriculum is designed to provide students with a well-rounded education that extends beyond the classroom. We recognize the importance of fostering a strong sense of community and connection within our schools. Our students will be encouraged to participate in various extracurricular activities, clubs, and events that promote teamwork, leadership, and personal growth.
By building a supportive and inclusive environment, we aim to ensure that every student feels valued and celebrated for their unique strengths and contributions. Parents and guardians play a vital role in the success of our students, and we look forward to partnering with you throughout the year.
Your involvement and support are crucial in helping us achieve our mission and goals. Together, we can create a positive and enriching educational experience for all our students. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We are excited about the year ahead and the opportunities it holds.
If you have any questions or need assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to your child's school or the district office. Here's to a successful and inspiring 2024-25 school year!

Warm regards,
John Weigel
