Dear Hedenkamp Families and Community,
Welcome to the 2024/2025 school year! We are thrilled to welcome you all back to Hedenkamp
Elementary School. Whether you are returning or joining us for the first time, we are excited to
have you as part of our school community. Our dedicated staff has been hard at work over the
summer, preparing classrooms, developing quality instruction, and organizing activities to ensure a
successful and enriching year for our students. We are committed to providing a supportive and
dynamic learning environment where every child can thrive.
This year, we are excited to introduce several new initiatives aimed at enhancing the educational
experience for our students. These include fostering student skills in communication and
collaboration, developing critical thinking skills through our Design Thinking and STEAM Studios,
and expanding our extracurricular classes with our LEAD programs. We believe these
enhancements will further our vision to cultivate global citizens to be positive forces in our
community.
It’s an honor to continue to serve as principals of such an incredible community. Our goal this year
is to create a welcoming, inclusive school campus where every child is seen, heard, and valued. If
you are new to Hedenkamp, we have included a short video (linked here) about our background
and educational journey.
Your partnership and support are vital to the success of our school, and we look forward to
working together to create a positive and productive year for our Huskies. We encourage you to
stay connected and involved in your child's education. Our school website and social media
channels will provide regular updates and information about school events and activities. Please
take the time to subscribe to our school blog (www.hedenkamp.wordpress.com) and read our
Hedenkamp News every Sunday and follow us on X. (#hkamplearns).
Looking forward to a fantastic year ahead with our Huskies…Paw Power Rules!
Warm regards,
Erin Williamson, Principal
