Principal's Message

Hello Akron Flyers!
 
Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Akron Elementary School! It is a pleasure to welcome back our returning families and extend a special greeting to those joining our school community for the first time. We are proud to be part of Tippecanoe Valley School Corporation, where our mission remains clear: TVSC is dedicated to fostering student success through the development of character, leadership, and literacy.
At Akron Elementary, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to become a confident, capable reader. This year, we will continue building on the strong foundation we established last year by placing an intentional focus on explicit instruction, foundational reading skills, and literacy across every grade level. Our teachers are committed to ensuring students develop the essential skills they need to become successful readers, writers, thinkers, and lifelong learners. Reading opens the door to every other area of learning, and we are excited to continue this important work together.
Our vision remains simple yet powerful: to do whatever it takes to prepare every student to excel—today, tomorrow, and in the future. Whether students are learning to decode their first words, strengthening reading fluency, expanding vocabulary, or developing deeper comprehension skills, our goal is to help every child experience success and a love for learning.
While literacy continues to be a major focus, our students will also enjoy rich learning experiences across mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, physical education, and Project Lead the Way. We remain committed to providing a safe, engaging, and inclusive environment where students are challenged, supported, and encouraged to grow academically, socially, and emotionally.
One of the greatest strengths of Akron Elementary is the partnership between our school and our families. When educators and parents work together, amazing things happen for children. Thank you for entrusting us with your child's education. We value your support, communication, and involvement, and we look forward to working alongside you throughout the year.
I am incredibly grateful for our outstanding staff, supportive families, and amazing students. Together, we have all the ingredients for an exceptional school year. I truly believe the 2026–2027 school year is going to be our best yet, and I can't wait to see all that our Akron Flyers accomplish.
Let's make it a year filled with growth, learning, and success.
 
Go Akron Flyers!
 
Warm Regards,
Mr. Scott Sterk
Principal, Akron Elementary School
