Dear Providence Elementary Families,

It is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter to you as the Principal of Providence Elementary School. I continue to be honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such persevering students, an extremely talented and dedicated staff, and a supportive school community. I am eager to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's growth and success.

Our vision is Promoting and Empowering Success. We focus on character education initiatives such as Capturing Kids’ Hearts (CKH), Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), a focus on high priority standards, the use of data to drive instruction, and the consistent implementation of a rigorous curriculum so that we can continue to increase achievement for all students.

A vital part of our positive school culture is our ROAR Matrix, which encourages students to:
 R – Respect Others
 O – Own Your Actions
 A – Always Do Your Best
 R – Remember Safety

This framework helps guide behavior expectations in every area of our school, creating a safe, supportive, and productive environment for learning.

Additionally, we are proud of our Four Houses, One Family system. Each student and staff member belongs to one of our four houses (Amistad, Altruismo, Isibindi, or Reveur), building a sense of connection, pride, and unity across grade levels. Through house meetings, competitions, and celebrations, we foster teamwork, character, and school spirit in fun and meaningful ways.

It is important to us that everyone who steps through our doors feels welcome and valued! This attitude enables us to meet the challenges of academic excellence in a positive, nurturing environment where students are at the center of every decision we make.

The upcoming school year is going to be amazing, and we look forward to seeing you soon!

Go Tigers!

Ashley P. McGill
