From the Principal ...
Dear Parents, Students, and Community Members:
Welcome to another exciting school year at Lowville Elementary! As I begin my second year as principal, I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving our students, families, and staff. I look forward to building on the strong relationships we've established and another wonderful year together.
Throughout the summer, it was wonderful to see so many students engaged in programs such as Summer Recreation, Summer School, the Summer Science Academy, Super Stage, and the Hand in Hand program. Seeing our students learning, growing, and connecting with others is always a great reminder of the strong sense of community that makes Lowville Elementary so special.
At Lowville Elementary, we remain committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and engaging environment where every child feels valued, supported, and challenged to reach their full potential. We believe that strong relationships, high expectations, and a partnership between school and home provide the foundation for student success.
Our mission is to empower all students with future-ready skills, preparing them for personal success and meaningful contributions to their communities. Every day, our dedicated staff works to bring this mission to life through engaging instruction, caring relationships, and a commitment to helping every student thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
As we begin the school year, I look forward to seeing you at school events, during arrival and dismissal, and throughout the many activities that make our school such a special place. Thank you for your continued support and partnership. Together, we will make this another outstanding year for our students.
Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. I value open communication and welcome your questions, ideas, or concerns. Working together, we can continue to make Lowville Elementary a place where every child can learn, grow, and succeed.
Here's to a wonderful school year filled with learning, growth, and memorable moments!
Respectfully,
Andrea J. Hanselman

Students should not be unsupervised in the school building or on school grounds. Students must leave campus at dismissal, and not go to the playground unattended. We ask that you communicate with your child each morning where they should be going at the end of the day.
Elementary Back To School Night – September 10

Classrooms in grades PreK-5 will be open from 6:30 – 7:30 p.m. for parents to visit and meet teachers. Your attendance will help make the year ahead a great one for your child. We hope you will take a few moments to stop by and say hello.
Title I Parent Information Meeting
Parents of all elementary school students are invited to attend a meeting to learn about the district’s Title I program. Join us to learn what Title I is, how Title I money is used, how students get Title I help, and how parents can help their child be successful. The meeting will be held on Thursday, September 10 at 6:00 p.m. prior to the start of Elementary Back to School Night. We invite you to join us for this informational session and appreciate you partnering with us to support student achievement. You will hear about our MTSSi program and WIN period.

Please come to the elementary entrance and use the call button located to the left of the exterior door during school hours. Access to the building during school hours will only be for emergency situations or for scheduled appointments. If you need to meet with a teacher, please communicate with the teacher to schedule an appointment.
School Bus Changes
Students will be allowed one primary drop-off location and one alternate (secondary) drop-off location again this year. Both destinations will be kept on file. Please send in a note each day your child is to go to their alternate (secondary) location. Notes requesting changes to locations other than the two listed on the information sheet will not be allowed. Phone calls or emails will not be accepted to change the afternoon drop-off location. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to provide transportation for non-school activities.
