Dear Carrollton Elementary School Families,
Welcome to the 2026-2027 school year at Carrollton Elementary School!
Whether your family is returning or joining us for the very first time, we are thrilled to welcome you to another exciting year of learning, growth, and achievement. Our staff has been working throughout the summer to prepare engaging learning experiences, welcoming classrooms, and meaningful opportunities that will help every student thrive.
At Carrollton Elementary, we believe every child has the potential to succeed. Together, we are committed to creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive learning environment where students are challenged academically, encouraged to grow socially and emotionally, and inspired to become confident, lifelong learners.
This year’s school theme is: “WE CAN, WE WILL, & WE MUST MOVE FORWARD BY DESIGN.”
This theme reflects our belief that success does not happen by chance, but through intentional planning, perseverance, collaboration, and a shared commitment to excellence. Every decision we make is centered on ensuring that students receive the high-quality instruction, encouragement, and support they need to reach their fullest potential.
We, at Carrollton, recognize that our families are our most important partners in education. Your involvement plays an important role in your child(ren)’s success. Together, we can make this school year one filled with meaningful and memorable learning experiences.
Every learner empowered. Every educator inspired. Every day designed for excellence.
Carrollton Elementary School develops the knowledge, character, and confidence of every learner through rigorous instruction, collaborative leadership, meaningful family partnerships, and equitable opportunities, preparing students to excel in college, careers, and civic life.
