Let me be the first to welcome you to Kissimmee Elementary School! Home of the Bear Cubs. I am very proud of our dedicated staff and enthusiastic learners, and I am pleased that you have chosen our school for your child’s education.

Kissimmee Elementary School is a high-performing educational institution designed to develop and nurture successful and independent critical thinkers through Innovation, Diversity and Opportunity (I Do). The ‘I DO’ initiative cultures the respect for our society’s diversity through innovative project-based and student-centered instruction. Students will learn about real world career pathways in the areas of the environment, philanthropy, journalism/media, government, and the health industry by creating opportunities to experience hands-on, interactive lessons that will create wonder and build pathways to future career choices. Our school is a cohesive learning community that promotes the development of entrepreneurial skills in various real-life environments through enriched and rigorous learning within a diverse community where all children succeed.

As demands of teaching children continue to increase, it remains necessary that we all work together to ensure that our children reach their fullest potential. The road to excellence for our students will not be judged by the end result, rather by the path and journey they took to get there! I believe that all of us, the school and the community, must work together as an extended family to ensure success for all our students. It’s our responsibility to empower children with the creative, intellectual, and decision-making skills necessary for them to become academically, socially, physically, and emotionally successful.

We encourage you to be an active participant at Kissimmee Elementary. We have many opportunities to get involved in your child’s education, including our school advisory committee, volunteer program, various family nights, sporting events, and more! Educational research validates that when parents are involved in their child’s education, the child’s likelihood of success greatly increases.

Please do not forget to stay connected! You can stay up to date with school events via the school website, our social media and Remind. I also encourage you to remain in constant communication with your child’s teacher(s) via email, Remind, or the student agenda.

If you are ever in need of assistance, please do not hesitate to contact the school at 407-935-3640 or reach us via Remind or Let’s Talk where one of our dedicated staff members will gladly assist you.
