WELCOME BACK TO THE 2023-2024 SCHOOL YEAR!

As always, I look forward to the work we will do together. Please know that I am dedicated to the Longwood family and will work hard to ensure the success of every child. I am honored to have the opportunity to serve this community and look forward to what we will accomplish during the ‘23-’24 school year. I can be reached at the school number (708) 757-2100, by email cmayze@ brookwood167.org

I am so happy to return for a 2nd year as the Principal of Longwood Elementary School. Our first year together was filled with changes and excitement. I had the opportunity to build strong relationships with staff, parents, and students, and I hope to strengthen those relationships throughout this school year. I cannot thank you enough for your continued support and patience as we work toward academic excellence. I am positive that this will be another great year. LET’S GO LIONS!

The first day of school is Thursday, August 17th

During the ‘22-’23 school year, we focused on structure and procedures for Longwood. We ensured that students felt safe and comfortable coming to school. Using PBIS allowed us to create clear expectations and celebratory traditions. We achieved our goal of providing opportunities for family engagement and building family and community partnerships. This year, we plan to continue those efforts and push our instruction to ensure students learn in a rigorous and challenging environment.
