Dear Panther Families,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year!
As we begin a new year together at Cutler Ridge Elementary, I am filled with excitement and optimism for all that lies ahead. The start of a new school year brings fresh opportunities, new experiences, and countless possibilities for our students to learn, grow, and shine.
At Cutler Ridge Elementary, we believe every child has unique gifts and unlimited potential. Our role is not only to teach academic skills, but also to nurture confident learners, kind classmates, critical thinkers, and future leaders. We want our students to believe in themselves, take pride in their accomplishments, learn from challenges, and always strive to be their Panther Best.
This year, our dedicated teachers and staff will continue creating engaging learning experiences that encourage students to ask questions, think deeply, collaborate with others, and take ownership of their learning. We know that when students feel supported, valued, and connected, they can achieve incredible things.
Equally important is the strong partnership we share with our families. Your support, encouragement, and involvement make a tremendous difference in the success of our students and our school community. Together, we can create an environment where every child feels safe, welcomed, and inspired to reach their fullest potential.
To our returning families, thank you for your continued trust and partnership. To those joining the Panther family for the first time, welcome. We are excited to have you as part of our school community and look forward to getting to know you.
As we embark on this new school year, let us embrace each day with enthusiasm, kindness, determination, and a commitment to excellence. I am honored to serve as your principal and look forward to celebrating the many accomplishments, milestones, and memories we will create together.
Here’s to an amazing year of learning, growth, and success at Cutler Ridge Elementary!
With Panther Pride,
Laura Tennant
Principal
