Dear Workman Community,
It is with great excitement and gratitude that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Workman Avenue Elementary! I hope you had a joyful and restful summer break, filled with memorable moments with your loved ones.
As we begin this new year together, we remain committed to building a strong foundation for academic success, positive behavior, and meaningful connections. At Workman, we believe in the power of community, and it is through our partnership with families, staff, and students that we create a safe, inclusive, and inspiring place for all learners to thrive.
This year, we are continuing to focus on student achievement, social-emotional growth, and building a positive school climate. You’ll see exciting learning experiences, recognition of student and staff accomplishments, and opportunities to connect through events, workshops, and celebrations that make Workman such a special place to be.
To our returning families, welcome back! Your support and trust continue to mean the world to us. To our new families, we are thrilled to have you join the Workman family—where we learn, grow, and succeed together.
Let’s make 2025–2026 an exceptional year filled with growth, kindness, and achievement. Together, we are stronger. Together, we are Workman Strong!
Warmest regards,
Melisa Duardo
