Principal's Message

Welcome to the 2024-2025 school year!

At Pietrini Elementary, our mission is to create a safe, engaging environment where all students feel valued and empowered to learn as part of our school community. We believe that every Pietrini student is capable of learning and growing into their full potential, academically, socially, and emotioanlly. We do this with HIGH expectations and always emphasizing responsible citizenship through our Patriot Principles and CHAMPS expectations.

With the help of our incredible staff, we continue to create a school environment that promotes critical thinking, problem-solving, and fosters a love of learning. We hope parents will join us in the collaborative effort of encouraging our students to persevere through challenges and have a growth mindset!

Pietrini Elementary continues to be a wonderful, close-knit neighborhood school for the Franklin Park, IL community. Throughout my 20 years in District 84, I have come to believe that we have the most incredible students and families anywhere. I love being a part of the Pietrini family and I look forward to working together in order to improve student learning and the Pietrini community!

If I can be of assistance in any way, please do not hesitate to contact me. My door is always open and I can be reached at [email protected] or 847-455-7960.

Sincerely,

Therese Fontana
