Dear parents and community members,

Our children are the greatest gift that we have ever been given and with this gift comes tremendous responsibility and duty. One such responsibility is assuring that they receive the best education possible. As educators we are eager to take each student that enters our school to the highest level of knowledge possible, so that they will be ready for the challenges of tomorrow. 

Modern education goes far beyond what can be memorized from text books or gleaned from lectures or presentations alone.   Successful students of today must know how to link information from our past, with that of our present, and use it to progress into our future.  In preparing our students for success, we must provide them the skills that allow the learning process to become a never ending continuum. A continuum that enhances the knowledge of how to learn, develop a true love of learning, and to view learning as a never ending life skill.  

This is a huge challenge that the teachers and staff at Cummings Elementary School are eager to undertake.  We have outstanding teachers that are well trained as professional educators.  Educators that also have the compassion and understanding to nurture your children through educational milestones and associated life skills required for ultimate success.

Cummings Elementary is a community school and one that takes a tremendous amount of pride in it’s partnership with community and families to gain the most and the very best of what our experience here in Misawa can give us.  Please be an intricate part of your child’s educational life by visiting with, volunteering as time permits, and supporting the teachers of Cummings Elementary as we prepare your child for their successes of today and tomorrow. 

Sincerely,

Scott Sterry
Principal
