A Message from Principal Rhiannon Fry

Welcome to Washington Upper Elementary!

Dear Upper Elementary Students and Families,

Welcome to a new school year at Upper Elementary, where we believe wholeheartedly that every child is capable of success without EXCEPTION! Our school is not just a place of learning but a community where we nurture and celebrate the unique talents and treasures within each student.

As your principal, I am honored to be part of a team of treasure hunters, dedicated to uncovering and developing the potential of every student academically, socially, and emotionally. Our mission is clear: to prepare each child for the next steps in their educational journey, equipped not only with knowledge but also with the skills and confidence to thrive.

At Upper Elementary, we embrace the Kids at Hope culture, believing in the success of ALL students. We provide a supportive environment where students can grow, learn, and prepare for the challenges of Junior High and beyond. Our STEM, band, and choir programs offer valuable opportunities for exploration and growth, enriching our students' educational experience.

Having been a member of this community my entire life, I am deeply committed to making a positive impact on the place I call home and where I am raising my own family. I have full confidence in our dedicated teachers, staff, and the entire school community. Together, we uphold high standards and expectations, always putting the best interests of every student at the forefront of all we do.

I look forward to a wonderful year ahead, filled with learning, growth, and countless achievements. Let's embark on this journey together, supporting each other every step of the way.

Rhiannon Fry 
Principal
