We Lead With Heart!

Welcome to what promises to be an incredible new school year at Pakanasink Elementary School (PAK)! For the 2025–2026 school year, we will be sharing a Gold Sheet at the beginning of each month through Google Classrooms  and ParentSquare. This will include important dates and information about upcoming activities and events happening at PAK.

We are incredibly excited for the year ahead and know it will be filled with golden opportunities for all of our students. Our commitment remains strong: to grow, improve, and find even more ways to be better than before. As we begin this new year, we pledge to provide your children with a school experience that is engaging, meaningful, and rigorous. We will continue to build upon our strong foundation and traditions while striving for excellence in everything we do.

Our staff of highly qualified educators and support personnel are dedicated to creating a learning environment that offers rich opportunities both inside and outside the classroom. We are focused on promoting continual growth and helping every student reach their highest potential.

As Principal, my vision for Pakanasink is grounded in the belief that “We Lead With Heart.” This means every decision we make, every interaction we have, and every step we take is rooted in care, compassion, and a deep commitment to the well-being and success of each student. At PAK, we lead with heart by creating a school community where students feel safe, seen, supported, and inspired to thrive.

We extend a yearlong invitation to our families to join us for school events and activities whenever possible. Your involvement and support are essential to your child’s success, and we truly value our partnership with you. Strong home–school communication is vital, and we encourage you to reach out to us anytime you have questions or concerns—we’ll do the same.

Stay connected and involved by keeping up with your child’s studies, assignments, assessments, and school events. We are thrilled to have you as part of our PAK community—a place filled with energy, enthusiasm, and high standards of excellence.

Here’s to a productive and inspiring school year—let’s work together to make every day even better than the one before!
