Welcome Petrova Elementary Students and Families!
Dear Petrova Families,
It is our honor and a pleasure to welcome you to the 2026 – 2027 school year! We hope you all have had a relaxing and fun summer break. We are extremely proud to serve as the leadership of this amazing school and to support the students and families of Petrova School! This new school year brings the promise of a renewed dedication, focus, and energy to the mission of teaching and learning. With that said, the Petrova Staff is ready to kick this year off!
We would like to welcome all of our new families, whether you are joining us from another school or are about to start your UPK adventure with us! We have 18 new UPK students, and 34 new kindergarten students and their families joining our Petrova family this year! We are excited to share all that Petrova has to offer with you and believe you will soon feel that Petrova is a special place for all children. Our teachers, support staff, and families are ready to welcome you!
The dedicated staff at Petrova has been working tirelessly to set up classrooms, evaluate our instructional models, engage in professional learning opportunities, and update class routines and expectations. Our teachers are eager to learn with their new students and begin this year’s journey with them. We will work together to create a solid foundation for our students so that they have the opportunity to become self-directed learners, collaborative teammates, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens.
Please be sure to check Parent Square often and frequently. This will be the primary form of communication for our staff and families. This year, we have posted our yearly permission slips digitally, so please fill those out as soon as possible! We will be posting reminders for the following week every Thursday. Monthly newsletters will also be a wonderful way to keep up to date.
We look forward to the start of the new school year and to continuing our mission of providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. As always, we will look to our families to be positive partners in this year’s journey. Attendance is KEY! We want your student at school. Please try to schedule appointments and family trips outside of the school day. Everyday that is missed, is crucial instructional time. As always, if your student is ill, we appreciate you letting us know, and for them to return as quickly as possible. Our Petrova Senior Typists are Emily Gibson (pe-office@slcs.org) and Tammy Rocque (rocquetam@slcs.org). They would be the best person to contact for attendance or a change in dismissal plans. If there is a change in dismissal plans, we would appreciate knowing prior to 12:00 p.m. if possible. We appreciate your support.
As always, our door is open and our team welcomes your input. Please feel free to contact us via email at the addresses below or call to make an appointment to speak with us to discuss any ideas you feel will make this the best year yet!
Here's to a wonderful school year!
Sincerely,
Bryan Munn; Principal (munnbry@slcs.org)
