Dear Luella Elementary Families,

It is with great excitement that I welcome you to the 2025-2026 school year at Luella Elementary School, home of the Luella Lions Cubs! Whether you are a returning family or joining us for the first time, we are honored to partner with you in your child’s educational journey.

This year, our focus will continue to be on excellence, growth, and community. At Luella, we believe that every child can thrive when they are supported by a strong network of educators, families, and community members. Together, we will create meaningful learning experiences that inspire curiosity, foster leadership, and prepare students to exceed standards both inside and outside the classroom.

Our theme for this school year is “Accelerating Impact with Boots on the Ground: Leading with Vision, Driven by Data.” This represents our commitment to intentional action, student-centered decisions, and teamwork to accelerate impact. We will continue to provide a safe, nurturing, and inclusive environment where every child feels valued, supported, and empowered to reach their full potential.

Communication and collaboration will be key to our success. I encourage you to stay engaged through school events, volunteer opportunities, and ongoing communication with your child’s teacher. Together, we can ensure that every Luella Lion has the tools, confidence, and encouragement they need to succeed.

Thank you for entrusting us with the privilege of educating your child. We look forward to an amazing year of learning, growth, and achievement!

 

With Lion Pride,

Dr. Twyla Barkley
