Lafrancis Hardiman Elementary / Annex

Dear Parents and Guardians,

I hope this message finds you well and that you had a wonderful, relaxing summer! As we kick off the 2025–2026 school year, I’m thrilled to continue serving as Principal at Lafrancis Hardiman/Annex Elementary School. Along with Mr. Tue and Ms. Rivera, I truly enjoyed working with our amazing students and families last year, and I can’t wait to build on that friendship and collaboration in the year ahead.

Our dedicated faculty is excited to create engaging and supportive learning experiences for all our students. We’re especially eager to welcome back our returning students and greet those who are joining our school community for the very first time!

As we step into this new academic year, we want to ensure everyone—students, staff, and families—feels positive and welcomed. We’re implementing some fantastic programs that focus on academic growth through engaging instruction and targeted support. By keeping the lines of communication open and partnering with families, we can work together to help our students thrive during their time at Lafrancis Hardiman/Annex Elementary School.

To keep us connected, please take a moment to fill out and return the contact form that was mailed to you. This helps us keep up-to-date records for phone numbers, emergency contacts, and emails. We also encourage all families to sign up for ParentSquare and join our Parent-Teacher Organization. ParentSquare is a great tool for staying in the loop with student schedules, bus information, and important school updates.

We’re looking forward to a fun and successful year ahead!

Warm regards,

Dr. Darlene White
