Dear Isle of Wight County Schools Teachers, Staff, and Families,
I
am excited to join a school division that has already successfully
demonstrated progression in public education. As superintendent, I look
forward to reaching new levels of academic achievement by building on excellence, for every child, every day.
To reach new heights, I recognize that innovation and creativity must
be the hallmarks of our school division. I envision a future where Isle
of Wight County Schools will be revered as the PREMIER school division
in Virginia and beyond.
As
we continue working to achieve educational success for all of our
students, I want to expand upon the existing culture of excellence to
cultivate the mindset that we are all part of one team that holds the
best interest of our children as the number one priority. We are
rounding out our division leadership team with individuals who are
committed to providing a 21st century education centered on
rigor and transformative learning. IWCS is also fortunate to have
talented, dedicated teachers and staff across our school division that
embody the spirit of this mission.
The
success of our school division is not only dependent upon our
employees, but is also greatly impacted by active involvement from
parents and support from the community. Over the next several months, I
will be getting to know each of you while identifying areas of
opportunity for advancement. My goal is to engage all of our
stakeholders in a meaningful way to ensure consistency and efficiency in
how we support the instructional needs of our students. Our
partnership with each one of you is critical to the future of this
school division. If our students thrive, the community will flourish and
together we can make that happen.
I
will be visible and accessible through out the school division, so
please do not hesitate to reach out with questions, comments or
concerns. If there’s something on your mind…Let’sTalk! It is my honor to serve as superintendent and I look forward to the new school year ahead!
