Principal's Message
Welcome Lions!
At Osborn, we strive to foster an environment of safety, transparency, and collaboration between home and school. Our commitment to ensuring a secure and nurturing space for all students is unwavering. We understand that a child's well-being is the foundation for their success, and we are dedicated to creating a learning environment where every child feels safe, respected, and valued.
We believe in open communication and transparency in all that we do. Our partnership with parents and guardians is essential to the success of our students, and we encourage regular outreach, involvement, and dialogue. Together, we can support your child’s academic and social-emotional growth. We will keep you informed and involved every step of the way through various channels (especially via ParentSquare)—whether it’s parent meetings, newsletters, or events. Your voice matters.
At our core, we are dedicated to the four pillars that guide our unique immersion program:
1. **Biliteracy**: Our goal is to develop strong reading and writing skills in both English and Spanish. Through rigorous instruction and a love for learning, we support our students in becoming proficient in both languages.
2. **Bilingualism**: We nurture bilingual communication, ensuring our students can confidently speak, listen, and express themselves in both English and Spanish. This ability opens doors to future academic and career opportunities.
3. **Biculturalism**: We embrace the richness of diverse cultures. Our students learn to appreciate and celebrate their own cultural heritage and that of others, fostering respect and empathy.
4. **Bicognitive Development**: Our students develop critical thinking skills in both languages. This cognitive flexibility empowers them to solve problems, think creatively, and navigate the world with a broadened perspective.
Together, we are building a bright future for our students, by “Empowering global citizens to achieve linguistic and academic excellence.” Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. We look forward to a year of growth, achievement, and partnership.
