Hi Payson Elementary Families,

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 2024 –2025 school year! I hope you all have had a relaxing and fun summer break. I am extremely proud to serve as the Principal of this amazing learning community for the kindergarten through second grade students in Payson! We are excited to be the beginning of every PUSD graduate’s education experience. 

Our teachers and staff engage in professional learning opportunities, and update our instructional models, class routines, and expectations, all with the goal of fostering academic success and a true sense of connectedness and belonging for our students. Our primary goal is to ensure student proficiency in core academic subjects. We will work together to create a solid foundation for our students so that they have the opportunity to become self-directed learners, collaborative teammates, critical thinkers, and responsible citizens. 

I look forward to continuing our collaboration of providing your children with an effective and engaging educational experience. As always, we look to our families to be positive partners in their children’s educational journey. We will always put the best interests of our students at the center of our purpose. Join us in ensuring the success of all PES’s students,  stay healthy, stay positive, and stay connected.

As always, my door is open and our team welcomes your input.

Sincerely,

Linda Scoville

Principal
