Principal Communications
Welcome from Principal Rossi!
Dear Molin School Parents and Guardians,
Welcome to the Edward G. Molin Upper Elementary School, a thriving learning community. We are excited to help our students build literacy skills, develop academic curiosity, and engage with their peers. Fourth and fifth grade are a fun time when young people are learning independently and making new friends. As a trauma-sensitive school, we promote a positive culture that we call the Molin Way. The Molin Way helps us address each other with kindness, respect and responsibility.
I look forward to meeting you and your students!
Respectfully,
Tara Rossi
Principal
