Principal
Dear College Park Community,
I’m so excited to begin my second year as principal of College Park!
Over the past year, I’ve had the chance to get to know our school in a much deeper way. I’ve seen the care our staff brings to students each day, the support and involvement of our families, and the joy, energy, and personality our students bring to campus. It has made me even more grateful to be part of this community.
As we begin a new school year, I want every student to feel known, supported, and excited to learn. School should be a place where students feel comfortable asking questions, trying something new, making mistakes, and recognizing how much they are growing along the way. My hope is that every child feels confident in who they are and has the support they need to thrive and become the best versions of themselves.
Our College Park core values of kindness, integrity, teamwork, and curiosity are an important part of that work. Kindness helps us create a school where people feel welcomed and cared for. Integrity guides students to be honest, responsible, and thoughtful. Teamwork reminds us that we learn and accomplish more when we support one another. Curiosity keeps students wondering, exploring, and excited about new ideas. These values come to life every day in our classrooms, on the playground, and throughout our school community.
The partnership between home and school is just as important. I’m grateful for the trust, communication, and support our families bring to College Park, and I look forward to continuing to strengthen those connections throughout the year.
You’ll continue to see me around campus at morning drop-off, in classrooms, at school events, and wherever students are learning and having fun. Please come say hello. I always enjoy connecting with our students and families.
I can’t wait to see everyone back on campus and begin another joyful year of learning, growth, and connection at College Park!
With gratitude,
Betty Cheung
Principal, College Park Elementary School
