A Message from the Principal

Welcome to our Astor School Website!

We are looking forward to an exciting 2011-12 school year.

We have had a positive response to our email newsletter, the Astor Connection, (formerly The Astor Blurb). To build on that, we are beginning a school-wide website for your use. A link to the Astor Connection will also be posted on this website. I encourage you to explore Astor's website. This is a work in progress and we will continue to add information in an effort to make it an exciting, exceptional resource for all. Please let us know what you would like to see on this website.

I value this partnership of open communication that we have with parents, as we strive to ensure the highest academic and social potential of each and every child.

Thanks,
Karl Newsome
