Hello Venetia Vikings!
Welcome to Venetia Elementary School of the Medical Arts, where our belief is “Healthy Lives. Strong Minds.” I am honored to serve as the Principal of such a wonderful school and community. I am eager to start my 21st year in education and 9th year as the Principal of this magnificent elementary school. A hidden gem of the Westside. Our theme for 2025-2026, “It’s Time to Shine!” is more than a slogan, it is a call to action. This year, we are committed to helping every student discover their strengths, build confidence, and letting their light shine both in and out of the classroom. We will nurture that light and celebrate every success-big and small.
At Venetia Elementary, we strive to provide excellent instruction through embedding medical arts and health standards and implementing strong instructional practices that meet the needs of students through differentiated instruction, student ownership, and higher order thinking activities that encourage collaborative problem solving.
We truly believe in doing what is BEST for our children and showing them genuine care through building meaningful relationships. It is my belief that an educator’s job is to make students fall in love with learning by being passionate about our way of work in every classroom, reaching every student, every day. I am honored to have this opportunity to make this year a unique and valuable experience for everyone involved in the success of your child. Your active support and cooperation, combined with our professional efforts, will ensure academic success for your child.
It is my top priority to provide students with a safe and effective learning environment, full of rich experiences. I am eager to get to know all our wonderful students and families this year. I look forward to personally meeting you.
Let’s make this year unforgettable-because It’s Time to Shine!
Your Principal,
Monique L. Worthen
