Principal's Information

Dear Families of East Syracuse Elementary, 

Welcome back to ESE for the 2024-2025 school year!  I feel immense pride in this outstanding school and its community, and I'm excited about the remarkable achievements we'll accomplish together in the upcoming school year and beyond.  I am thrilled to collaborate with our dedicated staff and incredible families to foster a positive culture built on community, inclusivity, and acceptance.

At ESE, we not only focus on academic support and excellence but also place a strong emphasis on the social and emotional well-being of our students. Through our PBIS programs and Second Step curriculum, we prioritize social-emotional learning and well-being. Our highly-qualified staff is committed to ensuring that all students feel safe and welcomed at ESE.

I strongly advocate for a robust partnership between home and school. Ongoing communication between families and the school is crucial to meeting students' needs effectively. By working together as a strong team in support of our students, we can achieve the best results for everyone. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns you may have at any time.

To keep you informed, we will use ParentSquare for communication about upcoming events and announcements. Additionally, a monthly newsletter will provide information about important happenings. I am eagerly looking forward to meeting all students and families and working together to further strengthen the ESE learning community.

A friendly reminder that the drop-off time at ESE this school year will be between 8:05-8:15 a.m., with classes starting promptly at 8:15 a.m. Teacher placement letters will be sent out via ParentSquare in mid-August. Thank you for your unwavering support for your child, and I am confident that we will have an incredibly successful school year ahead.

Sincerely,
 

Tom Sweeney
