Welcome Back to School Kashmere Gardens Family and Community:

“We Are transforming our vision into REALITY”

Dear Kashmere Gardens Elementary Parents and Students,

We hope this message finds you well and filled with excitement as we gear up for the start of another Ramtastic school year at Kashmere Gardens Elementary!  We are excited to have had the opportunity to select a wide range of willing, awesome, competent, skillful, effective, and caring professional educators that have been assembled, to increase your children’s academic and social achievement.

The 2024-2025 academic year promises to be one filled with endless possibilities, new experiences, and a focus on nurturing both academic excellence and personal development for the future. Our dedicated faculty and staff have been hard at work preparing to provide an engaging and enriching environment that fosters creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning everyday.

We will never forget that every student entrusted to us is very important and we will teach them as if they were our own. Their successes are our successes, and their failures are our failures, based on what we can control.  Our influence by building those strong positive relationships will guide them to be productive and respectful members of our community.

For our new students, welcome to the Kashmere Gardens Elementary family! We are thrilled to have you join our Kashmere Gardens community family, where friendships are built, and memories are made. To our returning students, we can't wait to see the progress you've made and the enthusiasm you bring to each day.

As we step into this new year, let's embrace challenges as opportunities, and let's celebrate successes, no matter how big or small. Together, we will create a safe, respectful, and inclusive space where every individual’s unique talent and perspective are valued and celebrated.

Together, we will create a nurturing environment that empowers students to reach their full potential and become responsible, compassionate, and confident individuals. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We can't wait to see each of you on the first day of school, ready to embark on this incredible journey together.
