Dear Michael Cranny Elementary School Families,
Welcome to a new and exciting school year at Michael Cranny Elementary School!
On behalf of our staff and the entire MCES community, I extend a warm welcome to all new and returning families. We are thrilled to partner with you in supporting the success and well-being of every student.
At Michael Cranny, we are dedicated to fostering a safe, welcoming, and inclusive learning environment where every student feels a strong sense of belonging. Our focus remains on student achievement, well-being, and creating a positive school climate that allows all learners to thrive.
We continue to nurture a community of curious, thoughtful, and compassionate learners. Our educational approach emphasizes critical thinking, collaboration, communication, and reflection. Students are encouraged to share ideas respectfully, consider diverse perspectives, and use evidence to support their thinking and decision-making.
This year, we will continue to strengthen teaching and learning with a particular focus on literacy, mathematics—including problem-solving—and student leadership. We will also build on our commitment to mental health and well-being, 2SLGBTQ+ inclusion, and dismantling anti-Black racism, ensuring that our actions reflect our belief that diversity enriches our school community.
We value the partnership between home, school, and community. Working together allows us to provide meaningful learning experiences and positive outcomes for all students. If you have any questions or concerns, please connect with your child’s teacher or with the administration team; we are here to support you.
At MCES, everyone matters and everyone belongs: Be Kind!
Warmly,
Khadijah Rawji
Proud Principal of Michael Cranny Elementary School
