“Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.” Helen Keller
Let me applaud the efforts of the PTA on a well structured website that is highly user-friendly. The website continues to prove an invaluable tool in which all facets of the Jessie Ripoll Primary School community can collaborate and enhance its rich history.
As a team we maintain the view that to educate OUR children there must be sustained synergy between school, parent and child.
The ‘Jessie’ family welcomes all new parents. We encourage you to be highly involved in school-related activities that foster your child’s overall development. Ensure that you are engaged in the school-life of your child whether you volunteer in the classroom, assist with special events, chaperone, or serve as an active member of the PTA; your participation is welcomed and appreciated.
I make myself accessible by way of an open-door policy so that we can solve problems and create solutions. I look forward to working with each of you and invite you to share your questions, concerns, and comments as we seek to add value to ALL members of the team.
