Dear Parents and Guardians:

It is very humbling to be the Principal of the Port Allegany Elementary School. I strongly believe that our elementary building is the heart and soul of our community. I am proud of the dedicated staff, enthusiastic learners, and the learning community in which we reside. I strive to make P.A.E.S. a welcoming place where everyone feels comfortable upon entering. As the complexities and demands of teaching our youth increases, it becomes more apparent that working together will facilitate the common goal of our children to reach their fullest potential. My role as the elementary principal is to keep our children safe, listen to concerns, foster a positive school climate, and facilitate the necessary changes that are best for our students.

Please feel free to contact me with any questions or concerns you may have as our school year unfolds.

Sincerely,

Tracy Kio: Elementary Principal
