Dear Rosholt Parents, Guardians and Families:
It is with great excitement that I write this introduction to you as the newly appointed Principal of Rosholt Elementary School. I am honored to have joined the Rosholt community. I have 21-years experience in Education, most recently having served as a district and school-level administrator for the Racine Unified School District.
Your child's teachers aim to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant, and filled with real-world connection. This year, we are placing special focus on:
- Utilizing the NWEA-MAP Learning Continuum to plan instruction, particularly in mathematics
- Strategic use of Informational Texts during Reading instruction
- Implementation of Writer's Workshop during English Language Arts
Along with the teachers and staff, I will strive to support the legacy of success established by Rosholt through building strong relationships with parents, students and community partners. Building meaningful relationships with students, families and teachers is a primary responsibility of a principal. Thus, I will be in the hallways, classrooms, on the playground an in the lunchroom throughout the year. Students truly appreciate when their principal genuinely invests in them by listening, by learning alongside and by being fair and consistent.
If you ever have a concern, please do not hesitate to call the main office or e-mail me. I believe open communication is very important in a school and for this reason, I will always encourage you to reach out to your child's teacher, to a member of the office staff or to me with any questions you may have.
Again, I look forward to immersing myself in our school and community. In serving Rosholt, I pledge to put our teachers in the best possible position to succeed, as their work at providing learning opportunities is of the highest importance. Together we can ensure that each student at Rosholt receives a strong education and has a successful school year!
Take care,
Dr. Christopher Thompson
Elementary School Principal/
Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum & Instruction
