Principal's Message

Dear Hurricanes,

 

The faculty and staff join me in welcoming you to the 2025-2026 school year.  We look forward to continuing the rich traditions that have been established and are excited for new opportunities ahead. Our theme this year is “Saddle Up For Success.”  This will be the driving force behind every action at South Plaquemines Elementary School. 

 

We know that a saddle can be a padded protection while riding an animal.  However, a saddle can also join two points together.  This is what we are focusing on, bringing our students from any low points in their academics to their highest functioning point.  

 

We are setting meaningful academic achievement goals for all students in our school. One of our major goals is that all our students be able to READ on their grade level.  We are requesting that each student and family join us in setting meaningful goals for academic achievement and become active participants in reading for at least 20 minutes every evening.  Another goal of ours is to display our Hurricane Pride with this awesome community by inviting each of you to participate in the activities and academic plans for the students of this school.  

 

Throughout the 2025-2026 school year we join forces with the district, to Preserve, Pursue.  We want to Preserve our involvement in the community, and Pursue new gains with our students in all academic areas.  

 

We look forward to working with all of our stakeholders this school year and 

“Saddle Up For Success”.

 

Your Partner in Education,

Mrs. Tonya D. Redmond, Principal
