Introduction
It is with great honor and pleasure to join ABC Elementary, staff, and
community, as your new principal. As an educator, it has been my mission
to motivate and inspire students, staff, and the community-based partners,
to be life-long learners, striving towards personal success and leadership.
As we begin the new school year together, I have established a formal
Entry Plan, extending over the school year, allowing me to listen to the
many stakeholders of our school, learn from you, and introduce myself.
Together, we will all work hard, support one another, grow, inspire
minds, and continue to support the ABC Elementary family.
VISION
Core Values
Collaboration and Teamwork: Together, all stakeholders at ABC Elementary
will work together, meet regularly, and committedly strive for individual student
success, in order to create life-long learners, and leaders.
Data Analysis and Accountability: Everyone is accountable for data results;
analyzed regularly and systematically. Student growth is a direct correlation from
curriculum , assessments, and instruction that is relative, informative, and
cohesively tied systematically.
Expectations: Students, staff, parents, and community members must have
high expectations for themselves and the students; working together to create a
positive environment and an atmosphere of highly-engaged, and highly-effective
learners.
