Principal’s Message

A Message From our Principal…

 

Dear Hallsboro/Artesia Parents and Community Members:

As principal of Hallsboro/Artesia, it is my pleasure to welcome everyone back for another exciting year at our school! We are all anxious to have students back in our classrooms and hallways filling them with energy and an enthusiasm for learning. It is our mission to help every child feel welcomed, connected, and a part of our Hallsboro/Artesia family. Additionally, we strive to challenge each student to grow in his or her academic abilities and to make the most of their elementary school experience. At Hallsboro/Artesia we have excellent teachers who spend many hours planning and creating classroom activities that engage our students in learning. They utilize research-based best practices and academic data, in order to determine the correct skill levels and goals for growth and achievement for our students.

We hope that over the course of this school year you will find Columbus County Schools website, our student handbook, and the school’s Facebook page helpful and informative. Teacher’s will be using Class Dojo to share information about your child and school activities and the school will use School Messenger to send out text messages about buses and information about school happenings.

It has been a privilege to serve as this school’s principal for the last fourteen years. I am honored to be a part of a school community where parents, teachers and students care for each other and strive to build positive relationships that support academic and social growth for children. Please feel free to contact me at 910.646.3510 or jspaulding@columbus.k12.nc.us.

Once again, a big Welcome Back to “Panther” country! Let’s make 2021-2022 our most memorable year yet!

Sincerely,

Josephine G. Spaulding, HAES Principal
