Principal's Message

Dear Parents/Guardians and Students,

Welcome to Montclair Elementary! The reputation that Montclair holds within the Beaverton School District is one of high achievement bound by the dedication of its families and staff. Our goal is to create rich and learned environments valuing equity, respect and safety for all who enter our school.

At Montclair, we believe in a shared leadership approach in order to support the academic, social and emotional skills each child needs to be successful. Students take part in building the climate of their school/classroom, parents/guardians display a value for learning and reinforce that value in partnering with the school, and staff engage in professional development, so they can tailor their instruction to fit the needs of each child.

Parent partnerships and volunteer work make Montclair a haven of transparent, equitable practices. It is our goal to embrace the knowledge each family brings to their child’s development and the diversity incorporated into our school culture. We value your contributions and effort that make Montclair a premier 21st century school. We invite all parents to take part in this quest, to make sure that our community is the very best learning environment that we can possibly provide, and I am happy to take part in this commitment and serve you!

A commitment to excellence in education takes on many facets of development, from building relationships to preparing students to take flight into the real world, but the overall outcome should be the development of individuals that enjoy learning and embrace a collective responsibility for our future. Come dream, believe and achieve with us!

Sincerely, Angee Silliman
