to lead this wonderful school. Crocker Farm has vast potential as an elementary
school, and to that end, we fully intend to work to help maximize the
opportunities for all our children. We have talented teachers and support
staff, we have bright and hard-working students and we have committed and
involved parents and guardians. Much more to follow in the weeks and months
ahead, but for the time being we wanted to say welcome and we look forward to
seeing all of you very soon.

the placement of our students, paying careful attention to teacher input, as
well as utilizing the parent-guardian placement form to help us develop our
classrooms. We know our students will thrive at Crocker Farm School this coming
year.
Best,
Derek Shea
