Dear Sleepy Hollow Families and Community,

Welcome to Sleepy Hollow Elementary School!  I am thrilled to join the SHES team this year, serving in my first year as your principal.  While I am new to District 300, I bring with me over two decades of educational experience serving students in a variety of roles- special education teacher, literacy coach, assistant principal, and principal in a neighboring district.  I want to extend a warm welcome to each of you as we venture into a school year filled with intentional plans for student growth, high levels of learning, connection, and celebration.  

At Sleepy Hollow, we are committed to creating a positive, inclusive, and safe learning environment in which all students feel a sense of unconditional belonging.   We want your child to feel supported in their social-emotional learning, safe to take educational risks, and highly engaged in high levels of learning.  

A strong home-school connection is what will truly help our SHES students succeed at school and beyond.  Throughout the school year, we will keep you informed about school events, academic programs, and ways you can be involved in your child’s education.  Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.

We value your partnership, input, and involvement in what promises to be an exciting, academically challenging, and memorable year SHES!  

Best,
Kari Littehale
