Now, more than ever, educators and children alike deserve consistency, innovation, socio-emotional supports, and robust parental and community partnerships. They also deserve to be human and to be heard. Over the next several weeks, my admin team and I will prioritize listening, learning, and observing in hopes of making McKinley a model for student-centeredness, teacher development, parental involvement, and a place where kids from all over our region want to come and stay.
As Principal, my virtual door is always open, and I welcome both your input and your solution-based feedback. I look forward to meeting and working with you.
