Principal's Message
My name is Karen Cashen and I am the
Principal of Padonia International Elementary School. I have worked in the Baltimore County Public School
system since 1977, and have been at Padonia since 1988. It's a school filled
with life, learning, and love!
Our school community is dedicated to providing a quality, comprehensive
educational program designed to address the needs of a diverse student
population. We commit ourselves to promoting understanding, appreciation, and
respect for cultural diversity and learning.
We believe...
That we must provide each child with the opportunity and assistance to reach
his or her potential as a productive member of an ever-changing society by
implementing a curriculum that is child-centered, engaging, developmentally
appropriate, and measurable by authentic assessment.
We believe...
That we must equip our students with the skills to be life-long learners, to
adapt to change, and to be secure with a strong sense of values and ethics as
they operate in a global community.
We believe...
That we must teach our students to be concerned for the total environment,
and to be productive, contributing members of a democratic society.
We believe...
That improved student achievement is the result of parents and communities
working as partners in the educational process with effective, knowledgeable,
and dedicated administrators, teachers, and staff.
We believe... That
Together We Can Make a Difference!
