Dear Parents and Guardians,

I am thrilled to welcome you to a new school year! My name is Mrs. Pomerantz, and I am honored to be your new principal. With 14 years of experience in middle school education, I am excited to join this wonderful community and work collaboratively with all of you to make Las Colinas Middle School an exceptional place for students to learn and grow.

I am eager to meet each and every student and of course their families. Your child's success is my top priority, and I believe that a strong partnership between home and school is essential.

We are excited to welcome several new teachers to our campus and a new assistant principal, Mrs. Griffith. Their fresh perspective and expertise will enrich our students' educational experience.

I can't wait to see what this school year brings.

Sincerely,

Mrs. Pomerantz
