Principal's Message

Greetings Dapplegray Families,

Dapplegray is committed to continuing to provide an educational program that will prepare students for their next level of education. Dapplegray believes each child is a gift and therefore is “gifted” in some way. Staff and Administration agree that a strong literacy curriculum, balanced and enhanced by specialized programs in mathematics, arts, science, history and technology, will best serve our students. An important component of our mission is to implement instructional strategies that will strive to meet individual student learning needs and create a school where students feel safe to express their individuality. Creating an environment where the students care for themselves, each other, and their school is an important part of what makes Dapplegray a special place to learn.
 
At Dapplegray Elementary School, every student is valued, parents are welcomed, teachers are masters of their craft, and community matters, every day.

All the best,
Annie Ernandes, Ed.D.
“Dr. E”
Proud Principal
