Greetings, Wallace Parents!
Welcome to the new school year! I am Tonya Anderson and I am so excited to serve as principal and lead learner for Wallace Elementary this school year. I know that as we approach the new school year, there are still many unknowns.
I appreciate your questions. Some questions remain unanswered as we await guidance from the health officials. Please know, as we receive additional information, we will do our very best to communicate the information to you in a timely manner.
Please click here to access an informational video in response to the questions that were asked. I sincerely hope this helps to address some of your concerns.
Again, I am super excited about the school year and can't wait to meet you in person. Hopefully it is soon!
Tonya M. Anderson, Principal
Wallace Elementary
