Principal's Corner

Welcome to Ansbach Elementary School! Our dedicated staff is committed to helping every child reach his/her full academic potential, in an atmosphere of mutual respect and caring. Our goal is to provide a world-class education for every student based on their individual needs and in accordance with DoDEA instructional goals and standards. The important task of educating our youth extends far beyond the confines of the school environment. It encompasses a strong commitment and involvement on the part of the school, family, and community. By working together and sharing our knowledge and experience, we can achieve the very best for our children. We know through research in education that parental involvement of any kind, through volunteer work at school, assisting with homework at home, or active participation in school organizations leads to higher achievement for students. We invite you to join us in providing the best education possible for your child.

Our Continuous School Improvement Plan involves building a collaborative learning environment and providing opportunities for students to engage in real-world learning activities. Through teacher collaboration, co-planning, and data analysis, our teachers employ research-based instructional practices to increase student learning and give all students access to rigorous instruction and a productive learning environment.

The DoDEA mission is to "Educate, Engage, and Empower military-connected students to succeed in a dynamic world". As your Principal, I look forward to continuing to work with the military, civilians, and contractors to support our organization's mission as we grow and change as a community.

Elementary school is a wonderful time for students, parents, and educators. Each day is different, and we would like to assure you that we are passionate about challenging our students and are continually "Striving for Excellence" in all that we do. We look forward to meeting and working in partnership with you and your student(s)!

As we come to the close of another school year, it’s a moment to reflect on all that we’ve accomplished and the growth we’ve witnessed. It’s been a year of learning, challenges, and celebration, and we couldn’t be prouder of our students, staff, and families for their hard work and dedication.

May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month - a time to recognize the importance of communication and to honor the professionals who make it possible for so many students to find their voice. Across the Department of Defense Education Activity (DoDEA) schools, Speech-Language Pathologists (SLPs) play a vital role in supporting student success, regardless of location, language, or need. Though separated by oceans and time zones, DoDEA SLPs have found a powerful way to stay connected and collaborate through a Microsoft TEAMS group that spans the globe.
