Message from the Principal
It is with great pleasure that I welcome you to JoAnna Connell. Here at Connell we are a school within a school. We offer a rigorous regular curriculum and enriching, intense honors program. It is my sincere hope that you continue to see that “Educational Excellence=Successful Students” in all of the classrooms at JoAnna Connell Elementary School. Research tells us what is best for children of all ages and this information has helped us create the best possible learning environment for all of our students. Our teachers and staff know what students need to be successful, and they provide this on a daily basis in their classrooms. Remember that the most important things that children need are free. These include consistency and consequences, rules and boundaries, support and patience, and love and attention. I strongly believe that we can work together to provide these for our students to help ensure their success.
As members of the Connell Family, it is important that we continue to work together to help prepare our students for their futures. We need to be their biggest fans and supporters. I urge joining the PTA and volunteering and participating in our many school functions.
As we work together to ensure your child has the best possible school experience, there might be times we need to pay special attention to a specific issue or concern. If you have any questions, concerns, or issues that are not resolved with the classroom teacher, please contact:
