Dear Cappel Families,

Welcome to William R. Cappel Elementary School, home of the Comets! W.C.E. takes pride in being a close school community that fosters exemplary experiences, trusting relationships and superior instruction. As a member of the W.C.E. family, not only will your student learn how to read, write, and solve mathematical problems, they will also learn how to think critically. Our teachers are dedicated to developing future leaders that can think independently with competence and confidence that will allow them to achieve goals beyond their wildest dreams.

Through P.B.I.S. (Positive Behavior Interventions & Supports) we set  universal expectation and language that will create a learning environment for your student to grow both personally and academically. As a team of parents, students, and staff we will achieve academic excellence and reinforce sound character values to provide an exceptional foundation for your student’s academic career.

We look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with your student in the weeks and years to come. There is no doubt that the W.C.E. teachers and support staff are critical members in the lives of your student. The exceptional staff members at William R. Cappel work diligently to provide your student with a positive, high-quality educational experience.  There is no greater excitement than to observe and participate in daily learning activities. It is with great pride and satisfaction to watch the overall progress and growth of our students from Kindergarten to 5th grade.

The role of you, the parent, is the most important piece of our puzzle. It is critical that the relationship between school and home is strong and productive. Consistent and positive communication is vital in helping your student reach and exceed their highest potential. In addition to regular communication with your child’s teacher, our P.T.O. would be an excellent way to help foster that relationship and it would provide you with many opportunities to have a greater influence on your student’s education. It doesn’t matter if you can help a lot or a little because any amount of time will help. If you are interested in this organization please do not hesitate to call the office.

The school year will bring new hopes and new beginnings. We excitedly await the start and continuation of our education journey. William R. Cappel is an outstanding school with a close, supportive staff and community. Together our focus will be on exemplary experiences, trusting relationships and superior instruction.
Sincerely,

Dr. Megan Crawmer
Principal
