WELCOME TO UCON ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

Elementary school years are a special time in a child’s life. Students will be learning many new skills: academic, social, self-concept, motor coordination, etc. Parents play a vital role in helping a child reach his/her maximum potential. Research in child development indicates that 90% of a child’s preparation for learning takes place at home—most of it well before the child enters a formal classroom! Children spend a great deal of time learning from their first, best teachers—their parents. Indeed, as parents, your involvement in your child’s learning experiences will have a dramatic impact on how well your child succeeds in school and later in life. By working together, we can help all our children achieve their maximum potential and become the best person possible--socially, emotionally and academically.

We look forward to serving alongside you as your children experience the joys of learning. A positive attitude for achieving and your child’s success in school are highly and directly influenced by parent attitudes and the home atmosphere--what is taught and reinforced there. Parent participation at school and encouragement for learning will indeed be major contributors to a child’s success. Ucon strongly encourages all Ucon parents to volunteer and participate in school and with their child’s class as often as possible.

We wish all Ucon families a successful school year and pledge to actively partner with our parents to assure that our children blossom in a garden of love and learning.
