Starting the School Year Strong

SACS Families and Staff,

Welcome to a new and exciting school year at Southwest Allen County Schools! As we stand on the brink of another academic year, we are filled with anticipation and enthusiasm for the opportunities and experiences that lie ahead.

Tomorrow marks the beginning of a journey where each day is a chance to learn, grow, belong, and achieve. Our dedicated teachers and staff have been working tirelessly to prepare for your return, ensuring that our classrooms are ready to foster curiosity, creativity, and a love for learning.

To our students, we are excited to see your faces light up with new discoveries and achievements: embrace each challenge, celebrate your successes, and know that your potential is limitless. To our parents and guardians, thank you for your unwavering support and partnership. Your involvement is key to our collective success.

Whether we are students, parents, teachers, or staff, each new beginning brings its own set of challenges and opportunities. As we embark on a new school year, it is important to remember the value of grace, kindness, and patience. From students adjusting to a new grade, to parents preparing their reluctant children for school, bus drivers learning new routes, and teachers facing a classroom of new faces, let us approach each day with empathy and understanding. By doing so, we will create a supportive and nurturing environment for everyone.

Together, let’s make this year not only about academic growth but also about building strong, compassionate relationships ensuring that everyone feels welcome and empowered to succeed. We are confident that, with your continued support and collaboration, this year will be filled with remarkable accomplishments and cherished memories.

Looking forward to a fantastic school year,
Kent DeKoninck, Superintendent
Southwest Allen County Schools
