Dear Parents and Guardians,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year at Sugarmill Elementary! We are absolutely thrilled to welcome you and your child to what promises to be a wonderful year full of learning, growth, and new opportunities.

At Sugarmill, we believe that every child deserves to feel seen, heard, and valued. Each student brings unique strengths, interests, and talents, and our dedicated teachers are committed to supporting their academic, social, and emotional growth every step of the way.

This year, we are focusing on building a strong sense of community within our school. We are creating a safe, inclusive, and positive environment where all students feel supported and inspired to try new things, take risks, and discover their potential.

We also know that strong parent-school partnerships are essential for student success. We encourage you to stay involved—whether by attending parent-teacher conferences, volunteering, or participating in school events. Your engagement helps create a team approach that benefits your child’s learning experience.

To stay informed throughout the year, please follow us on social media and visit our school website regularly. Communication is key, so don’t hesitate to reach out with any questions or concerns. It’s also important to review the Sugarmill Elementary Handbook, which outlines our expectations for student behavior and helps ensure a safe, productive school year.

As we begin this journey together, we want to remind you of our PBIS values:

We are Respectful. We are Responsible. We are Safe.
We are Eagles — and Eagles SOAR!

Thank you for your continued trust and partnership. We are honored to be part of your child’s educational journey and can’t wait to see all the incredible things they will accomplish this year.
