Principal's Message

Dear Workman Elementary Families, 

It is my privilege to serve as Principal of Workman Elementary School and I look forward to another spectacular school year! This is my 28th school year in the field of education, and it is my passion to provide the best education that all students deserve for a successful future. 

Our district and staff are working hard to ensure that we have a smooth and successful school year.  Through Professional Learning Communities, I look forward to leading our school as we provide the academic and social-emotional support students' needs.

I am confident that we will have a bright 2026-2027 school year as we work together united as a community and Workman Wolverine family.  As Principal, I am committed to leading our team to create and maintain a safe, caring, and collaborative school environment to foster an atmosphere that promotes student success.

The Parent/Student Handbook includes important information regarding our school, district policies, and some important dates to remember. Some of the dates may change, so please check emails, Parent Square, phone/ text messages, and flyers. We will also display information on our school website and social media such as our school Facebook and Instagram. Please read the enclosed material and follow the procedures as outlined, to support the maintenance of a safe and orderly learning environment for all students. It is suggested that this handbook be kept as a reference guide as questions arise during the school year.

Our school promotes excellent attendance with a goal of 95% attendance for all. We ask families to encourage your child to be here every day and on time as long as students are not ill.  If you have any questions about sending your child to school, please call our office.  Please refer to the Bell Schedule and note dismissal times for Regular Days, Minimum Days, Conference Days, and Report Card Release days.

It is my strong belief in creating and maintaining an open line of communication in an effort to create a strong partnership with our families. Your comments, suggestions, and compliments are always welcomed. Cheers to an extraordinary school year… Go Wolverines!

Sincerely,

Ms. Leslie Vandagriff

Acting Principal
