Dear Current and Prospective Weber Families,
What a privilege, honor, and joy it is to continue to lead the Weber community in 2021-22, my fifth year as principal and chief learner of Weber Elementary School! At Weber, we enjoy a long history of academic excellence, cherished traditions, and community support. In addition, we are part of the “pipeline to Pomona,” where we serve as a feeder school to two other Arvada treasures: Moore Middle School and Pomona High School. No doubt about it: I am thrilled to begin my twenty-seventh year as a public educator in my role as principal of Weber Elementary School, home of the Eagles!
At Weber, our staff members are committed to meeting the unique needs of every child, and we collectively take responsibility for educating all students, our students. We are, in fact, E.A.G.L.E.S.: Educators Affecting Growth and Learning for Every Student. Our talented, dedicated professionals represent various areas of expertise and levels of educational experience, and we all stand poised, with a shared vision, to serve our beloved community in the name of student learning. One of our main strategies for being able to help students succeed is our identity as a professional learning community, or PLC. As a PLC, we work in teams to accomplish numerous goals, including identifying and leveraging children’s strengths, empowering students to be active participants in their education, tracking the progress of all pupils, and reflecting on our own practices to ensure that we are employing effective, research-based strategies to help all students thrive academically, physically, socially, and emotionally. With children at the center of all decisions, we operate interdependently to promote student achievement and to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all. We do, in fact, live out on a daily basis our school mission of creating, elevating, and celebrating the success of all students—because at Weber, everybody is a somebody.
Don’t delay: Come and join us for an exciting, fun-filled year at Weber Elementary School! We look forward to serving the students in your family, and we are confident that an education at Weber (a responsibility that we take very seriously) will provide a foundation for students to love learning, to tap into their talents, and to acquire the fundamental skills necessary to realize their hopes and dreams in life. Together with your partnership, we will provide the conditions necessary for our students, your “eaglets,” to mature into eagles and to soar to new heights. Let’s get started today!
It’s always a great day to be an Eagle,
Lisa A. Malloy, Ed.D.
