A Message from Our Principal

Welcome to Charles Helmers Elementary School. At Helmers, we are committed to creating a nurturing and supportive environment where every student can thrive. At our school, we prioritize teaching the whole child, focusing not only on academic success but also on social and emotional learning (SEL). We believe that every child has the potential to shine and achieve greatness. It is our mission to encourage and support each student in their journey to do and be their best self. We also teach our students to follow our Husky H.O.W.L. to have respect, own our actions, work to succeed, and lead with kindness.

We strive to ensure that each student feels valued, safe, and empowered to reach their full potential. Our dedicated staff is here to support your child’s growth, and we are committed to fostering a safe learning environment where all students can explore, learn, and grow.

I look forward to partnering with you this year as we embark on this exciting journey together!

Thank you for being an essential part of our school community.

Warm regards,

Robin DesChamps
