Welcome to Sci-Tech! As the principal and one of the founding members of our school, it is my pleasure to welcome you to our Sci-Tech family!

 

At Sci-Tech, we believe that learning should be exciting, meaningful, and full of discovery! Our motto, “Hands On – Minds On,” reflects our commitment to providing students with engaging, hands-on experiences that spark curiosity, encourage creativity, and inspire a lifelong love of learning. We want our students to explore, ask questions, think critically, and discover the world around them through meaningful learning experiences.

 

We are committed to creating a safe, welcoming, and nurturing environment where every child feels valued, supported, and encouraged to reach their full potential. We believe children learn best when they feel connected, are encouraged to take risks, and understand that making mistakes is part of learning. At Sci-Tech, we celebrate each child's unique strengths while fostering kindness, respect, responsibility, and a strong sense of community.

 

Our mission is to “inspire learning, curiosity, and problem-solving with a focus on science and technology.” We bring this mission to life by integrating science, technology, and hands-on exploration throughout our curriculum. Through inquiry-based instruction, real-world experiences, and meaningful community partnerships, our students develop the knowledge, confidence, and problem-solving skills they need to succeed in an ever-changing world.

 

Sci-Tech holds a very special place in my heart. Having lived in Knights Landing for many years and dedicated more than 30 years to education, I am deeply committed to the children and families of our community. As one of the founders of Sci-Tech, I had the privilege of helping bring to life a vision of a school where students could experience innovative learning opportunities while maintaining the close-knit, family atmosphere that makes our community so special. Seeing how much our school has grown and the wonderful accomplishments of our students fills me with pride.

 

As both an educator and a grandmother, I understand how important it is for families to know that their children are cared for, challenged, and supported. I believe that every child deserves opportunities to discover their strengths, build confidence, and develop a love of learning. Our dedicated staff works tirelessly to make this happen every day.

What makes Sci-Tech truly special is our sense of family. Our staff, families, and community partners work together to create meaningful experiences that help our students grow academically, socially, and emotionally. We believe that educating a child is a partnership, and together, we can make a lasting difference.

 

At Sci-Tech, we do more than teach. We inspire, encourage, and empower our students to dream big, explore possibilities, and believe in themselves.

 

am incredibly proud of our Sci-Tech Robots, our amazing staff, and the wonderful community we have built together. I look forward to continuing this journey of learning, discovery, and success with all of you!

 

With gratitude and Sci-Tech pride,
