Alleghany County letter to Parents concerning the flu

Saturday School Recovery Sessions and After School Recovery Sessions Letter to Parents. 

Welcome to Callaghan Elementary School

Thank you for visiting  Callaghan Elementary School’s website.   Here at Callaghan, we are committed to improving students’ learning skills and providing quality instruction in a positive, nurturing, safe and success-oriented environment so that all students have the opportunity to reach their full learning potential and have the tools to make sound decisions for their future. 

To parents and students, please become familiar with the school policies and procedures included in the Parent-Student Handbook.  It is full of helpful information that is both valuable and important to our day to day operations.  

The high standard of excellence that is historic to this school has been made possible through the efforts of parents, students, the school staff and community members working closely together.  I am very much looking forward to being a small part of its continuing legacy of success.   

I wish everyone an enjoyable and successful school year.

 With warmest regards,

 Joshua Craft, principal

Visit with the Superintendent!

Mark your calendar for Tuesday, February 4.  (THIS IS A CHANGE IN THE ORIGINAL DATE.)  Mr. Kotulka, Superintendent of Alleghany County Public Schools will hold office hours from 9:00AM to 3:00PM at Callaghan.  All Callaghan folks are invited to come chat one-on-one about school related topics of your choice, or just drop in to say hello.  No appointment is necessary. 

 

Missing something?  If your child has lost something, maybe a sweatshirt, coat, hat, or even a pair of shoes, it may be in our lost and found.  It’s filling up with nice stuff.  Stop by or call the school to see if we can locate your child’s missing item. 

As we say a sad goodbye and good luck to third grade teacher, Ms. Cahn, we give a warm hello to our new third grade teacher, Ms. Jacklyn Bray.  Ms. Bray’s first day will be this Wednesday.
