Meet the Principal

Mrs. Ronica LaPoint

Dear M.E. Norman Elementary Families,

On behalf of our staff, I would like to welcome each of you to M.E. Norman Elementary!
At Norman Elementary, our vision is to prepare all students to be life-long learners by
providing rigorous instruction, setting high academic expectations, and supporting social and
emotional growth in a positive and safe learning atmosphere. We strive to maintain a strong
connection with families and community members in providing a well-rounded education.
I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with such a strong community
involvement and support. I am excited and eager to work with you as a partner in education to
provide every opportunity for your child to succeed.

Parental involvement in our school community is high, and for that, parents are
applauded. Research demonstrates that such involvement is the number one factor in
determining student success in school. Parental involvement can take many forms. First and
foremost, parental involvement means getting children to school every day and getting them
there on time. Being present to monitor student homework, providing a quiet place for
homework completion and being informed about progress and grades are all important to
student success. Furthermore, collaboration among students, teachers, and parents is an
essential key to the true success of a school community. Throughout the year we will keep
families informed through our school website, week-at-a-glance homework guide, weekly test
folders, JText (Quick Cub Comments), monthly newsletters (Cub Connection), and our Parent
Facebook page. Parents are also encouraged to remain actively involved through activities like
Parent-Teacher conferences, field trip chaperones, open houses, birthday luncheon, family
days, and more! 

We are excited for the opportunity to work with you and your child to provide a safe and
productive learning environment. I encourage you to call me to share ideas, concerns, or
questions.

I wish your family, and especially your student, great success this school year.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Ronica LaPoint, M.E. Norman Elementary Principal
