Principal’s Message

Engelwood Family,

Welcome back to a new and exciting school year at Engelwood Elementary School! As we begin the 2025-2026 academic year, I am thrilled to welcome both returning and new families.

At Engelwood, we are committed to providing a safe, nurturing, and engaging learning environment where all scholars can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe that every Cardinal can achieve greatness, and we hold all to high expectations -not only in their academic performance, but also in their character and personal growth. 

Our teachers and staff are dedicated to providing benchmark-based instruction that is innovating and engaging, while building meaningful relationships, and fostering a culture where every scholar feels supported, loved, and challenged. 

A strong partnership between school and home is necessary for a successful school year. Your involvement, encouragement, and support are paramount for your child’s success, and we look forward to collaborating with you throughout the year. We welcome and encourage parents/guardians to volunteer in our school and attend parent engagement events. Please connect with us on ParentSquare, Facebook, Instagram, and our school website to remain informed of our happenings. 

With respect, open communication, and shared goals – we will work to make this, the best year yet! As always, my door remains open. I welcome your thoughts, feedback, concerns, suggestions, and participation. 

So “Wings Out, Minds Open – Let the Learning Soar!” Get ready to Launch into Learning: Soaring Beyond the Clouds to Academic Success! 

It’s a GREAT day to be Cardinal! Chirp, Chirp!!

It is my pleasure to serve you,

Danielle M. Spooney
