Principal's Corner

Cook Families, 

Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Hazel Goes Cook Elementary School! I hope you and your family had a safe, relaxing, and memorable summer. It is a privilege to begin another exciting year together, filled with learning, laughter, and meaningful moments for our students. 

Our amazing teachers and staff have been working hard to prepare classrooms, plan engaging lessons, and build a positive environment where every child can succeed. Guided by the International Baccalaureate (IB) philosophy, we are committed to fostering a love of learning, nurturing critical thinkers, and developing a global mindset in every student. This year, we will continue to grow as IB learners who are inquirers, knowledgeable, thinkers, communicators, principled, caring, open-minded, balanced, and reflective risk-takers. 

At Cook, we know that strong partnerships between school and home make a lasting difference. We invite you to stay connected, get involved, and join us in making this year a successful and joyful experience for your child. Together, we can create a safe, inclusive, and supportive community where every student is empowered to thrive and reach their full potential. 

Thank you for your continued trust, partnership, and support. I am excited for all that we will accomplish together in the 2026–2027 school year. 

Warm regards, 

Anthony Morales
