Neil Armstrong Elementary

Welcome to the 2025-2026 school year here at Neil Armstrong Elementary (NAE), Home of the Positive Astros! This year, our focus is on Legends in the Making! This means we are practicing the 7 Habits of Happy Kids to develop students who have strong character skills and high academic achievement. Our Mission Statement here is “Neil Armstrong Elementary will lead by example to develop character and competence in every student.” To become a legend, it takes a lot of GRIT. ~Mrs. Hazeltine, Principal

"It is my mission to work collaboratively with our families, school staff and community to enhance the student achievement in a safe and caring environment. As a social worker I will help develop the emotional growth and character of our students." -Mrs. Morazes, School Social Worker

"I will create a safe and caring environment where students are not afraid to take risks and step out of their comfort zone. I will be understanding of my students different abilities and will challenge them to be the best learner they can be. I will strive to develop a love of reading in all of my students while encouraging them to try different genres. I will make a difference by communicating with my students families in a timely manner. I will make learning fun while developing productive and competent students with great character." -Mrs. Welchman, ESE Liaison

"It is my mission to help create and support an environment where children learn and strive to meet their individual and highest potential. I will utilize my knowledge and resources to support teachers so that they may exhibit effective teaching strategies to promote student success. I will lead by example in both character and competence as I work to build positive relationships within our school community." -Mrs. Finch, Instructional Coach-MTSS

My mission is to demonstrate restorative practices to inspire self-regulation, problem-solving, win-win solutions, and social skills that will fuel a positive learning culture within our school. Also, to provide staff and students resources to encourage a student-centered environment focused on learning for all students. I hope to inspire every student and staff member to reach their full potential. Finally, I will strive to support staff and students with interventions, strategies, knowledge, and feedback that stimulates reflection and growth. Barbara Lisson Dean of Students NAES #Astrosrockit
