Dear Chalmers Street Public School Families,

Welcome to the 2025–2026 school year! I am thrilled to continue serving as the principal of Chalmers Street Public School and to partner with you in supporting your child’s learning journey. With a dedicated staff in place, a strong plan for improvement, and a shared commitment to student success, we are excited about the year ahead.

At Chalmers, our focus this year is clear: ensuring growth in Literacy and Numeracy for every student. We know that a strong foundation in reading, writing, and math opens doors for future success, and our staff are united in their efforts to provide targeted, engaging, and responsive instruction to help each learner reach their full potential.

We are confident in the collective expertise and passion of our educators. Through small group instruction, data-informed teaching, and high expectations, we are committed to accelerating student learning while nurturing curiosity and confidence. Every child at Chalmers deserves to shine, and we believe they will.

Of course, student success grows even stronger when families and schools work together. Your support—whether encouraging reading at home, celebrating math problem-solving, volunteering, or joining in school events—plays a powerful role in your child’s achievement. Together, we are building a learning community where all students thrive.

As always, our Cougar Way—Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Own Your Brilliance—guides us in creating a safe, caring, and inspiring school environment. With optimism, collaboration, and focus, we look forward to a year of incredible growth and success.

Warm regards,
Sheri Ilo
Principal, Chalmers Street Public School
