From the Principal

 

 Welcome back 
Hello Cougars, 
My name is Amber Fante and since 2017, I have had the privilege of serving as the principal for the Schwarzkoff Elementary community. I am so excited to welcome our families to the 22-23 school year.  Over the last five years the staff and I have worked to lead your students with sacrifice and service.  Our mission and vision at Schwarzkoff is to Dream; set mountain top goals, Believe: if you stumble we support, and Achieve: crawl or climb, together we rise.   You will hear me continuously talking about these three key words of Dream, Believe, and Achieve. Our goal is to provide your child with a world class education while deepening their connections to others.  We strive to create a warm and inclusive environment where our commitment to excellence is felt by students and the community every day. Being a Schwarzkoff Cougar means you are part of our PR.I.DE. We use PR.I.DE. to teach our expectations of Positive Respect, Integrity and Dedicated Effort. As you join us for the journey in your child’s elementary education experiences, please know our hands our extended in welcome.
