Welcome

Mrs. Kristen Burke Mahlie

Dear Students, Families, and other Community Stakeholders,

Welcome to A.C. Alexander—a joyful and inclusive learning community where students grow from curious Pre-K learners into confident, capable 8th graders, ready to take on the world.
We are proud to serve students from Pre-K through 8th grade in an environment that nurtures academic excellence, social-emotional development, and a lifelong love of learning. One of the cornerstones of our school is the Dual Language Program, offered from Pre-K through 6th grade. This program provides students with the incredible opportunity to become bilingual, biliterate, and bicultural—skills that are invaluable in today’s society, while anticipating the needs of tomorrow. Through instruction in both English and Spanish, our students not only meet academic standards but also develop a deep appreciation for language and culture.

Our dedicated team of educators is committed to meeting each student where they are and helping them grow into their full potential—whether they are taking their first educational steps in Pre-K or preparing for the transition to high school in 8th grade. We believe in educating the whole child and creating a school environment where every student feels safe, seen, and valued.

We also recognize that family engagement plays a vital role in student success. We encourage open communication  and invite you to be active partners in your child’s educational journey, whether through volunteering, attending events, or simply staying connected with our school staff. We hope everyone considers joining our Parent Advisory Council (PAC) to play a major role in the educational experiences for all students on campus.

As Principal, I am committed to fostering an environment where all voices are heard and valued. Together, let’s make this year one filled with learning, growth, and memorable experiences for every student.

Whether your child is just beginning in Pre-K or preparing for the transition to high school, know that we are here to support them every step of the way. I look forward to working together to ensure that this school year is meaningful, enriching, and filled with joyful learning. Our theme this year is “Alexander is WILD about learning,” and we plan to show our passion about growing students in all facets every minute of the school year.

Thank you for entrusting us with your child’s education. Let’s make it a great year!

Your partner in education, 
Kristen Burke Mahlie
