Principal's Message

Dear Shamrock Springs Families,

It is with great excitement and gratitude that I introduce myself as the new principal of Shamrock Springs Elementary School. I am honored to join this incredible school community and begin this next chapter with Westfield Washington Schools.

For the past eleven years, I have had the privilege of serving the students, staff, and families of Westfield Intermediate School. My time at WIS has been incredibly special, filled with meaningful relationships, unforgettable experiences, and tremendous growth. While it is difficult to close that chapter that has meant so much to me, I am thrilled to become part of the Shamrock Springs family.

Shamrock Springs holds a special place in my heart. Both of my sons attended Shamrock Springs, making this transition feel truly full circle. I already feel deeply connected to this school community, invested in its success, and eager to contribute to the incredible work happening each day. I look forward to partnering with our staff, students, and families as we continue building upon the strong foundation that makes Shamrock Springs such a wonderful place to learn and grow.

I firmly believe that relationships are the foundation of a successful school. When students feel connected, supported, and valued, they thrive. Building strong partnerships with families and fostering a culture of belonging for every child will remain at the center of our work together.

There is also an exciting future ahead for Shamrock Springs. As we look forward to a brand-new Shamrock Springs Elementary School in the months to come, we are equally grateful for the opportunity to call our current building home until that exciting day arrives. What a unique and special time it is to be part of this community!

I hope you will join us at one of our summer gatherings as we begin getting to know one another. Please watch for additional information from our PTO regarding dates and details.

Thank you for welcoming me into the Shamrock Springs family. I cannot wait to meet each of you and begin an amazing year together.

Warmly,

Annette Patchett
Principal
