Welcome to the home of the Eagles!

Dear Parents and Students,

I am excited about this year! We have a new school, and I can not wait for all of you to see the work that has been done. There is fresh paint on the walls, an entirely remodeled gym, and a bunch of awesome new windows to let the sun in - just to name a few of the wonderful new things in store for our students this year. On top of all the great work, we have a new name and mascot. I welcome you to the home of the Driftwood Eagles!

I am also excited about the new beginning we have. This year is going to be a year for great things. I and all of the staff are excited about the new opportunities we have to grow and learn this year.

One "Great Thing" that I would like to mention is that we met AYP in attendance for the second year in a row. That means we are headed in the right direction. I want to thank all of the parents and students for helping make this a reality. Without your help we could not have reached this important goal.

I would also like to thank all of the volunteers who have helped make the combining of our two wonderful schools a reality. There was a lot of work to get done over the summer and thanks to all of the concerned parents, friends, neighbors, and community members - we have pulled it together.

Once again, I am honored to be a part of this team of exceptional educators who are committed to the academic, social, and emotional success and well-being of every one of our children. I firmly believe that we have the best teachers, staff, and students of any school. I encourage you to watch us grow and lend a hand when you are able.Please feel free to contact me at any time or just stop by the school office if you have any questions or concerns or just want to chat.

Sincerely,

Sean Wells, Principal
