Welcome to Twinhill Elementary School!
It is with great excitement and heartfelt gratitude that I welcome you to the 2025–2026 school year at Twinhill Elementary School. Whether you are returning or joining our school community for the first time, we are delighted to begin this new chapter of learning, discovery, and growth together.
Each new school year brings with it a sense of renewal—a fresh opportunity to nurture curiosity, build connections, and strive for excellence. I extend my deepest appreciation to our incredible educators, support staff, parents, and families. Your dedication and collaboration are the foundation of our students’ success and the heartbeat of our school’s accomplishments.
Our staff has worked diligently over the summer to ensure a smooth and thoughtful start to the year. A great deal of time and care went into student placement, with attention to academic and social balance and equitable class sizes. We kindly ask for your support in helping your child transition positively into their new classroom community. Our goal is to create a welcoming and enriching environment for every student, every day.
The Twinhill Elementary School Parent-Student Handbook is available online and contains valuable information about our programs, policies, and procedures. Please review it together as a family and keep it accessible for reference throughout the year.
As we embrace the year ahead, I encourage every member of our community to get involved—whether by volunteering, participating in our Parent/Family Advisory groups, our Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), or joining us at school events. Your presence and engagement strengthen the supportive environment we strive to build for all students.
I look forward to the many achievements, joyful moments, and meaningful connections that await us this year. Let us move forward together—hand in hand—as we inspire one another and make a lasting, positive impact on the world.
Welcome back to our returning families, and a warm welcome to those new to the Twinhill Elementary School family. TOGETHER we will CREATE a PATH of Excellence through Partnerships, Aspirations, Tenacity and Heart.
With gratitude and enthusiasm,
Dr. Mary McAllister-Parsons
Principal
