Welcome to Nido's Elementary School!

Elementary school is a remarkable time in a child's life! It is where students begin to discover who they are as learners, friends, leaders, creators, and growing community members. At Nido, our responsibility is not only to help children develop strong academic foundations, but also to ensure that they feel known, valued, challenged, and supported every day in our school community.

At Nido, we believe that learning grows from relationships. When children experience a strong sense of belonging, they are more willing to take risks, embrace challenges, and develop the confidence to learn from mistakes. Our classrooms are places where curiosity is encouraged, questions are celebrated, and students are empowered to think deeply, collaborate with others, and contribute their unique perspectives.

Within this supportive environment, our students engage in meaningful learning experiences that build strong academic foundations, encourage critical thinking, and prepare them to approach future challenges with confidence.

We also recognize that education is a partnership. Families, teachers, and students each bring important strengths and insights to our community. By listening carefully, communicating openly, and working together, we create the conditions for every child to thrive.

As the new Elementary Principal of Nido Elementary, I am committed to spending time where learning happens—in classrooms, hallways, playgrounds, performances, and at community events. I look forward to getting to know our students and families, and to learning alongside this extraordinary community.

Warmly,

Annie Olson-Reiners

Elementary School Principal
