Welcome to Donald E. Cline Elementary, a place of boundless curiosity, creativity, and collaboration! As the proud Principal of this exceptional learning community, I am thrilled to extend a warm and enthusiastic welcome to all students and their families.

At Cline Elementary, we believe in the transformative power of education, not only for individual growth, but also for the betterment of our society. Our mission is simple yet powerful: in partnership with students, staff, parents and community, is to provide students with an experience that enriches their academic achievement as well as all areas in their life, enabling them to become respectful, successful life-long learners.

Our school is more than just a building; it is a dynamic hub of discovery, where we embrace the diversity and uniqueness of each student. We firmly believe that every child has the potential to achieve greatness, and it is our responsibility to nurture that potential by creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for all. At Cline, every child learns, without exception.

Central to our philosophy are the ideas that we are "Learning. Leading. Together." We recognize that true growth occurs not only within the walls of a classroom, but also through interactions with peers, staff members and the broader community. Through collaboration and cooperation, we encourage students to understand the value of teamwork and how it propels us all forward.

Our dedicated educators are passionate about inspiring young minds, encouraging critical thinking and fostering a growth mindset. By empowering our students to take ownership of their learning journey, we strive to provide them with the tools and resources needed to succeed academically and personally.

As we embark on this educational adventure together, I encourage each student to dream big, reach for the stars, and embrace challenges as opportunities for growth. We will celebrate achievements, support each other through setbacks, and celebrate the unique strengths and talents that make us who we are.

I am excited to work hand-in-hand with Cline families who understand that a strong partnership between home and school is crucial to every child's success. Your involvement and support are instrumental in creating a positive and enriching learning experience for children. I am looking forward to this remarkable journey!

With Panther Pride,

Karrie Irons
