Dear Sequoyah Parents and Community,

I’m thrilled to welcome everyone to the 2025–26 school year! We’re excited to see our students return to campus, bringing with them energy, curiosity, and a love of learning. This year brings exciting changes to our already amazing campus, including the opening of our new elementary building—sure to be filled with laughter, learning, and lasting memories.

At Sequoyah, our mission is to make every student feel welcomed, connected, and truly part of the Eagle Family. We remain dedicated to providing academic challenges through innovative classroom activities designed by our exceptional educators.

It is an honor to serve another year as principal of Sequoyah Upper Elementary. My goal is to continue fostering the commitment to excellence that defines our school’s culture. Being part of this community—where students, parents, and educators work together to build positive relationships—is a privilege.

As a child advocate, my priority is to ensure every student is healthy, safe, and learning in an environment where they can thrive. We are committed to understanding each child’s unique learning style, interests, and personality. By offering encouragement and celebrating their successes, we affirm each child’s value and strengthen their connection to our school. Above all, our mission is to inspire a lifelong love of learning in every student.

 

Transportation Information for the 2025–26 School Year

Morning Drop-Off
If you are dropping off your child, please do so after 8:00 a.m. This is a change from the past few years. While you may see staff children or Safety Patrol members arriving earlier, all other students should not enter the building before 8:00 a.m.

Afternoon Pick-Up
End-of-day pick-up will begin at 3:00 p.m. The first few days may take a little longer as families and students adjust to the routine, but the process will become quicker each day. Our goal is to have the last student loaded by 3:15 p.m.

Transportation Changes
All changes must be made in writing—either by sending a note with your child to give to their teacher or by calling our receptionist, who will notify the teacher. We cannot accept verbal messages from students, and we cannot process changes sent in other ways. If you need to make a change, please notify the front office no later than 1:50 p.m.
