Principal's Corner

Welcome to Netzaberg Elementary School!

We are delighted to welcome all students and families to our vibrant community. Our school currently enrolls approximately 600 students from Prekindergarten (PK) to grade 5.

We believe that the best education is achieved through teamwork. When the energy and talents of home, school, and community are combined, amazing results follow. We are excited to welcome stakeholders into our school environment! Volunteers play a crucial role in enriching and supporting our curriculum through various activities. We are fortunate to have a very strong Parent Teacher Student Association (PTSA) and a School Advisory Committee (SAC) that includes both parents and teachers who support our efforts.

Family and Community Engagement

We emphasize the importance of community-oriented activities in fostering lifelong learners. Some of our cherished family activities include:

  • Boo Bash
  • Color Run
  • Bingo Nights
  • Zircus
  • Read Across America Week
  • Volksmarch
  • Lantern Walk
  • Field Day

Netzi the Dragon, our beloved mascot, attends as many of these events as possible!
