William Dollard
Principal, Shaker Road Elementary
At Shaker Road Elementary, we believe every child deserves to feel known, valued, and supported. Our school community is built on strong relationships, where students, staff, and families work together to foster a positive, welcoming environment where every student can truly thrive.
Social and emotional growth is at the heart of what we do. We are dedicated to helping our students build confidence, form positive friendships, and develop the skills they need to navigate everyday challenges. Paired with strong academics, our staff works thoughtfully each day to ensure school is a supportive and engaging place to learn.
We deeply value our partnership with our families and appreciate everything you do to support your child's education. We are looking forward to a fantastic year of learning, connection, and growth together at Shaker Road.
Since it was created in 1962, National School Lunch Week shines a light on the importance of a healthy school lunch in a child’s life and the impact it has both in and out of the classroom!
