Message from the Principal

Mr. Todd Williams

It is my pleasure to serve as principal of Chamberlain Elementary! Chamberlain is a great place for all students to grow, learn, and discover their unique strengths. Our staff is committed to using data to guide instruction, respond to individual needs, and ensure that every student has access to grade-level learning. When students need extra support, we work together to provide the right interventions so that we can meet the needs of Every Kid, Every Day—Whatever it Takes.

At Chamberlain, we also believe in shaping active and responsible citizens. Through our Habits of Scholarship—Integrity, Compassion, Courage, Craftsmanship, and Grit—students learn how to set goals, hold themselves accountable, and build strong relationships. These habits guide not only academic growth, but also character development, creating a family-like environment where students feel supported and encouraged.

We are proud of the collaborative spirit between our staff, students, and families. Your partnership is critical to the success of our Crew, and we look forward to connecting with you at upcoming family events. Thank you for your continued support of Chamberlain Elementary.

Sincerely,

Todd Williams, Principal of Chamberlain Elementary
