How do you help students achieve excellence and reach their full potential?
My hope is that my students and parents feel heard and supported when we talk and feel confident that I will walk with them through the next steps of their challenge or dream.
What is something you have implemented that has enhanced the school culture?
When I hear positive things about students or teachers, I make a point to share it. We all need encouragement!
What words of advice would you like to share with our parents?
The best parenting advice I have received is "don't freak out." Keep calm in crisis, listen to your child even when you may not agree with their perspective and don't let fear drive your decisions.
