Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year at Scott Avenue School!
 
My name is Ms. White, and I am honored and excited to serve as the principal of Scott Avenue Elementary School. I look forward to partnering with our students, staff, and families as we build strong relationships, celebrate our school community, and create an incredible year for every Scottie.
 
Our school-wide theme this year is “RISE UP—Together we BARK, together we rise!” At Scott Avenue, we RISE UP together by creating a community rooted in pride, care, and a shared commitment to helping every Scottie learn, grow, and succeed. We rise higher when we work collectively to create the support, encouragement, and opportunities every student needs to reach their full potential. This theme reminds us that when we come together as one pack with one purpose, we can ensure every student feels seen, valued, supported, and inspired to do their best each day.
 
Throughout the year, we will continue reinforcing our Scott Avenue BARK expectations: Be a Friend, Act Responsibly, Respect All, and Keep Safe. These shared expectations, along with our monthly character traits, will help our students develop the kindness, responsibility, confidence, and perseverance they need to thrive both in school and in their community. Together, we will maintain the supportive, rigorous, innovative, and positive learning environment that makes Scott Avenue such a special place.
 
In preparation for our return to school, please stay informed by visiting the East Whittier City School District website, especially the Family Resources section, on a regular basis. This site provides important updates, tools, and supports for families throughout the year. In addition, please be sure to read all Aeries ParentSquare messages, as this is the primary way we will communicate the most current information, reminders, and any changes as soon as they arise.
 
To help you stay connected and informed throughout the year, please also visit our school website at scottavenue.ewcsd.org for important updates, resources, and school information. You can follow us on Instagram at @scottavenuescotties to see highlights of student learning, celebrations, and campus life.
 
If at any time you have questions, concerns, or need support, please do not hesitate to reach out to me directly at [email protected]. We are here to partner with you and support your child’s success.
 
I am so excited for all that this year will bring for our Scott Avenue community. Let’s rise up, support one another, and make the 2026–2027 school year one to remember!
 
Warmly,
Ms. Alysa White
