Principal's Welcome

Hello, and Welcome to the 2026–2027 school year at Neck River! 

After an incredible first year together, we are excited to continue building on the strong foundation we established as Madison's newest elementary school. What began as a brand-new school has quickly become a thriving community where students, staff, and families feel at home. While our building is new, we have quickly learned that the traditions, relationships, and sense of belonging created here already make Neck River a special place for kids.

Each day, approximately 670 kindergarten through fifth-grade students and approximately 145 dedicated staff members come together to learn, make memories and grow. 

Our highly trained staff is a mixture of youth and maturity that gives our educational community a wonderful balance. Our students come from many different cultural backgrounds and bring with them a unique set of talents and interests that contribute to our vibrant school spirit. Our parents have a strong commitment to participating in their children's education. This is demonstrated through our active PTO, high participation in parent conferences and high attendance at school functions.

It is our goal that, as our students progress through the years here, they will reach their full potential as learners, friends, artists, musicians, athletes and citizens in our ever changing world. Whether your child is taking their first steps into kindergarten or preparing to soar into middle school, they will find a nurturing community and a strong foundation here at Neck River.

We value the partnership between home and school and believe open communication is essential. If you have any questions, concerns, or ideas about how we can best support your child, please don’t hesitate to reach out. Your voice matters, and we are here to listen. Call anytime.

Thank you for being an important part of the Neck River family. We can't wait to see what this year brings!

With warm regards,

Rebecca Frost
Principal
