Each year brings new challenges and new reasons to be excited as we continue to celebrate our successes! This year we are excited about what is happening to our physical environment and the building of a new school! Dunston Elementary will soon be a state-of-the-art school. Our student achievement continues to increase year after year! Our school-wide Positive Behavior Intervention and Support (PBIS) program continues to prove effective. Along with PBIS, we will focus on character education, the use of data to drive instruction, and providing curriculum in a rigorous manner so that we can continue to increase student achievement. We will continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are relevant and help them build relationships while making real-world connections. As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors-teachers, students, and parents are excited to be here! I will celebrate student successes, small and large. I will encourage your children every day and let them know they are valued and have a special place in our school community. Not only am I excited to continue to work with your children, but I look forward to the work we will do together. My door is always open and I welcome your input. Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year.
