A Message from Principal Preston

Greetings Mustang families,

Fall is always a special time at Shultz Elementary School, and and walking through our hallways lately has been proof that great learning is happening in every classroom. Our students are engaged, curious, and growing each day—thanks in large part to the dedication of our exceptional teachers and staff. Their passion, creativity, and hard work continue to make Shultz a joyful and inspiring place to learn. 

I want to extend a heartfelt congratulations to our 5th graders and choir students for their moving Veterans Day performances. Their voices honored the brave individuals in our school family who have served our country, and who continue to inspire our children to give back to their school and community. 

We also want to celebrate the success of our PTA Fall Carnival in October! What a wonderful evening of games, treats, laughter, and community spirit. Events like these remind us how fortunate we are to have such an active and supportive PTA and family community. 

As we look ahead, there are many exciting events on the horizon:

• Multicultural Night – Join us this Thursday, November 20th starting at 6:00pm as we celebrate the rich diversity of our Shultz families. The evening will feature cultural displays, student performances, and opportunities to have fun learning about the many cultures and traditions represented in our school community.

• Shultz School Sing – Our students are working hard preparing to ring in the holidays with special performances Friday, December 12th. These annual concerts are a cherished tradition, and we can’t wait to see our students shine on stage. This year, Shultz School Sing performances will be held in the gym 

• 4th Grade Musical – Fourth grade families are invited to see a fun, beautiful, and inspiring performance Wednesday, December 17th at either 8:15 or 9:15am. 

Each year, our school develops an updated Parent Family Engagement Policy and School-Parent Compact through the Title I process. These can be found here on our campus website. After reviewing these, we would love to know your feedback. Please complete this form (Spanish form link) to let us know your thoughts.

With Mustang pride,

Matt Preston, Principal
