Welcome Back to the 2023-24 school year!!!!

I am honored to serve again this year as the Principal of Samuel Gompers Elementary School. It is a privilege to lead this learning community and it is exciting as we come back from a year of seeing growth from our students and the fruit of all of your hard labor!. Knowing that the reason we are here is to cultivate the students makes me excited about the tremendous possibilities that we can accomplish together this year.

This year, Dr. Watlington will continue with his mission, “Equity for Students in Every School”. This concept is simple – equality for every student, regardless of where they live, or their background, their school experience will be great! This goal aligns with our current mission of:

·  A Challenging Educational Program

·  Inspiring students to achieve both, intellectually and personally

·  Caring and respectful professionals/individuals to guide our students

·  Developing students who are resilient, well equipped, and socially responsible

This year again, we will accomplish this important task through a stimulating and comprehensive program.  It is still our responsibility to ensure the safety of our students, develop their talents and watch them soar!

I believe that genuine collaboration fosters ownership of a rich school culture.  Supporting our Gompers students to do well at school and in their lives is the core of our work. I will continue to work diligently on behalf of our students and school. As we embark on a new school year, I look forward to working with each and every one of you again. Teamwork, flexibility and cooperation will be the key to success for all at Gompers.

Sincerely,

Phillip DeLuca
