Mr. Rauser’s Message: I’m writing this message after a very positive first day as the new principal of Sprucedale Public School. I am very impressed by the positive behavior and good manners displayed by our students. I have received many emails from former principals and educators who have worked at Sprucedale and all were extremely positive about the students, the staff and the community. I feel very fortunate to have the opportunity to help your children learn both academically and socially.
Children learn best when school and home work together. I encourage you to catch me out on the yard or drop by my office if I can be of assistance in any matter. Never hesitate to give us a call or make an appointment to talk in person to your child’s teacher so that we can work together to make 2016 the best year possible for your child(ren).
I would also encourage you to consider getting involved in Sprucedale Public School either on School Council or as a volunteer. Our next Playground Fundraising meeting is scheduled for Tuesday January 12th at 6:45 pm. If you are interested in volunteering at the school in any capacity, please give me a call at 519 625-8722.
Looking forward to working with you and your children to make this a great year of learning and growing!
Don Rauser
