2025-2026

Dear Commonwealth Families,

On behalf of the Commonwealth Staff, I hope this letter finds you well and eagerly awaiting the start of another exciting and wonderful school year at Commonwealth Elementary!  As we all prepare for the 25-26 school year, I would like to extend a welcome to our returning families as well as our new families.  Commonwealth is a California Community School and we participate in the California Engagement Initiative to increase and improve engagement opportunities for families.  We pride ourselves on our unity, inclusiveness, creativity, and boundless potential!  We offer each student a chance to thrive and reach their full potential through an engaging curriculum, enrichment activities, and the support of a caring staff of experienced educators. We saw tremendous growth in our academic achievement last year and we are committed to continue that trajectory!

We have many wonderful activities and experiences planned for the school year and we will count on your support and enthusiasm to continue their success!  To our returning students, we welcome you back!  Your dedication as a Commonwealth Tiger is what makes our school shine.  For those joining us anew this year, we are happy to have your fresh perspective and the many talents you will bring to our school family.

 As we embark on our journey together, please remember the importance of kindness, respect, and flexibility…we work to maintain a positive and nurturing environment that supports every individual to be their best selves.  

 We encourage you to remain connected with Commonwealth throughout the year, through our weekly newsletter, daily communication with your child’s teacher, or our many family-centered activities!  Join the Commonwealth PTA, get involved in volunteering in classrooms, come to Back to School Night, Open House, ELAC and other Family meetings. The more involvement we have from you, the better educational experience we can provide for all!

Let’s make this a great year of learning, laughter, long-lasting friendships, memories, and fun!   We are happy to call you a valued member of the Commonwealth Community.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Jean Summy

Principal
