Ardmore End of Year Message 2026

Jun 22 2026

Dear Ardmore Families,

As we come to the close of another school year, we want to take a moment to thank you for your partnership, support, and trust throughout the year.

This year has been filled with learning, growth, celebrations, and countless moments that have reminded us of the strength of our Ardmore community. Our students have worked hard, shown resilience, built meaningful friendships, and continued to grow both academically and socially. We are incredibly proud of all they have accomplished.

One of the things that makes Ardmore so special is our diverse and vibrant community. Our students and families bring a richness of cultures, languages, experiences, and perspectives that strengthen our school every day. We are grateful for the opportunity to learn from one another and celebrate the many backgrounds that make our community unique.

To our fifth-grade students and families, congratulations as you prepare for the next chapter of your educational journey. We wish you all the best in middle school and know that you will continue to do amazing things.

Thank you for being such an important part of the Ardmore community. It is a privilege to serve as your principals, and we look forward to welcoming many of you back in the fall for another wonderful year of learning and growth.

Have a safe, relaxing, and enjoyable summer!

Warmly,

Please note the following important dates and reminders.

This is a reminder that tomorrow, Tuesday, June 23, is a two-hour early release day. Students will be dismissed at 10:00 a.m. There will be no breakfast or lunch service provided.
