Kim Hollowell Principal

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year at Empresa Elementary!

We are thrilled to have you as part of our incredible learning community and are eagerly anticipating the opportunity to collaborate with you and your children as we focus on academics, positive school attendance, and socio-emotional learning and support. The first day of school will be Thursday, August 15, 2024. 

As we embark on this new academic journey together, there are several key areas of focus that we are deeply passionate about maintaining:

• Creating a school culture where every student feels connected and valued

• Working closely with families (as a team) to provide the very best support for our students

• Immersing students with opportunities in music, singing and visual arts

• Challenging students with rigorous academic programs

This year, our dedicated team of educators is more prepared than ever to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and stimulating learning environment. Whether it’s in the classroom, on the playground, or in the community, we are committed to fostering a culture of respect, inclusivity, and excellence.

I encourage you to stay connected with us throughout the year. Our doors are always open, and we welcome your feedback, questions, and ideas. The Empresa Elementary PTA and the Empresa Performing Arts Foundation (EPAF) are essential partners in our successful school program. These parent organizations generously provide funds and volunteers to sustain our educational initiatives and outstanding music program. We encourage you to consider supporting the efforts of these parent organizations.

Please take a moment to review the enclosed important dates and next steps. We have an exciting lineup of activities, programs, and initiatives planned for the year ahead, and we can’t wait to share them with you.

Together, let’s make this school year one to remember.  Empresa Rocks!

Your Partners in Education,

Kim Hollowell, Principal
