Dear Whittier Community,
 
I am thrilled to serve as the principal again for the 2024-2025 school year here at Whittier Elementary School. This year I look forward to the many opportunities Whittier has before us. With our expanded middle school and focus on top tier instruction Whittier students can do it all.
 
At Whittier, we are proud to educate the whole child and focus on high quality academic and social-emotional foundations.  We continue to do that by creating a learning environment where teachers collaborate, plan, and implement lessons to ensure all students have access to the curriculum and grade level standards. We recognize the diverse needs of each student and work in partnership with families, teachers, and administrators to continue to achieve greatness.
 
Whittier students have their PAWS up this year by being Problem Solvers, Always Kind, Working Hard and Staying Safe. I am proud to be a Whittier Wildcat and help shape the education of students in our community.
 
PAWS Up!
Erin Freriks
