"All children can learn."
"I believe all kids have the ability to learn if they are provided with the fundamental knowledge that we as educators are charged with providing them at each level of their development. Parents provide them with the foundation; educators build the structural framework, and fill in the body at each successive level."
A Message from Our Administrators
Dear Families,
If you are joining the Coleman A. Young (CAY) Elementary community for the first time this school year, welcome.It is a community where your constructive involvement really does make a difference. Whether it is volunteering in a classroom or chairing an event, your efforts have a direct impact on daily life in our school. We hope that over time, you come to love being part of the CAY community as much as those of us who are returning for another school year.
At CAY, staff, families and students work in each other’s company, navigating through today’s complex and shifting educational landscape through careful observation and thoughtful conversation. We invite you to find your own unique ways to contribute to this effort.
One thing that hasn’t changed over time is that our children are always watching us, and so much of their learning takes place in subtle ways. They learn from our attitudes and our actions. This is why, as adults, we do our best to treat each other with kindness and consideration and to balance our own needs and wishes with those of the people around us. In this way, we work toward being a community that values both individual success and collective well-being. We understand that by living these values as adults, we are creating an environment that will encourage our children to do the same.
