Culler Middle School

Welcome to Culler Middle School

Gary Czapla, Principal

Welcome to the 2011/2012 school year.  Allow me to introduce myself.   My name is Gary Czapla and I am very pleased to have the opportunity to serve as your student’s Principal at Culler Middle School.  During this summer I have had the opportunity to see several returning students and meet students who will be new to Culler this school year.   I appreciate their enthusiasm and I am looking forward to getting to know each of them better during the course of the school year.  We will have around 520 students at Culler this year and I am expecting great work from all of them.

I will expect a great deal from your student in terms of their behavior, work ethic and in their level of achievement.   If a student falls behind academically, I fully expect that student will need to put in the extra time and effort to achieve, and I expect the adults will support this.  All students will achieve at Culler and we will provide every opportunity and intervention to ensure their success.   Middle school sets a strong foundation for a student’s long-term academic success.  Every adult in this building wants the absolute best educational experience for your child and we will work diligently to provide that experience.

I also expect that students, teachers, parents, and administrators will respect one another and will model appropriate ways to handle any concerns.  We will provide parent(s)/guardians with information during the course of the school year giving ideas on how to support your students academically and socially.  We have the opportunity to help students at Culler achieve at a high level, but we have to work together and support each other to make the achievement possible.

The first day of school is August 16^th.   Please note, school is out one hour earlier from August 16^th through August 19^th with the first full day of school starting August 22^nd.  I am eagerly awaiting the start of the 2011-12 school year and hope to see everyone at either the 6^th grade open house or the 7^th and 8^th grade open house.  Thank you for all of your support of Culler Middle School.

Sincerely,

Gary Czapla
