Dear Chalmers Street Public School Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year! My name is Sheri Ilo, and I am truly honored to serve as the principal of Chalmers Street Public School. As we embark on this new academic year, I am filled with enthusiasm about the opportunity to work alongside you and your child.

Chalmers is a remarkable school, and our dedicated staff is eager to engage your child in a year rich with learning experiences. We are committed to providing a safe and nurturing environment that fosters a solid academic foundation for all students. We recognize that each child is unique, and we firmly believe in their potential to succeed.

I encourage you to take an active role in your child’s education. Your involvement—whether through attending school events, monitoring their reading and numeracy progress, or maintaining open communication with their teachers—plays a crucial role in their success. Research has shown that students thrive when there is a strong partnership between home and school.

Throughout the year, there will be many opportunities for you to volunteer on our campus and participate in various events. We are delighted to have you as part of the Chalmers community, and I assure you that we will strive to exceed your expectations.

This school year, our focus will be on individual success while we collectively uphold our mission and vision: the Cougar Way—Be Safe, Be Respectful, and Just Own Brilliance!

We are truly honored to support your family this year, and I look forward to a wonderful journey together.

Warm regards,

Sheri Ilo
Principal, Chalmers Street Public School
