Welcome to the 2026–2027 School Year!

Dear Old Quarry Families,

I hope you and your family have had a wonderful summer with your loved ones! 

For those I haven't had the opportunity to meet yet, my name is Kristen Salwierak, and I am incredibly grateful to serve as the Principal of Old Quarry. After nearly two decades in education and many years serving students and families in a leadership role, stepping into this position is truly an honor. From the moment I joined the Old Quarry community, I have been welcomed with kindness and support, and I am excited to partner with you this school year.

I believe the strongest schools are built on a partnership between dedicated teachers, supportive families, and incredible students. Together, there is no limit to what our Warriors can accomplish!

Middle school is an exciting time filled with growth, friendships, and new experiences. Every interaction has the opportunity to make someone's day better. Please continue encouraging your child that kindness costs nothing, but has the power to completely change someone's day! We will continue to share a daily reminder for our students this year: “If it's not helpful, kind, or respectful... don't text it, post it, or say it. Choose kindness. One person choosing kindness can change a moment. It can change a day. Be the reason someone smiles today.”

This year promises to be filled with exciting learning opportunities, new experiences, and memories. Whether your child is entering sixth grade for the first time or preparing for their final year at Old Quarry, we are committed to helping every student grow academically, socially, and emotionally.

Thank you for trusting us with your child each day! It is a privilege we do not take lightly. Together, we'll make this a year filled with learning, growth, and unforgettable moments

“It's a great day to be a Warrior!”

Kristen Salwierak
