August 5, 2015 Parents/Guardians Welcome to the 2015-‐2016 school year! This year will be our most memorable for several reasons. We will be politely relentless in our efforts to raise test scores, decrease behavioral incidents, and continue what has become our legacy of excellence. The first day of school is Wednesday, August 19, 2015, beginning with our traditional back to school parade, where we will feature the “Jesse White Tumblers.” Our one-‐to-‐one learning opportunities for our children will continue through the utilization of iPads and Chromebooks. I am honored to be named Superintendent of Lindop Elementary School District 92, and I am personally resolute to lead the district to a new level of success, which is enveloped in unlimited opportunities and unlimited potential. We will absolutely meet our goals because of the proven dedication and commitment from our Board of Education, the school leadership including teachers, administration, staff, parents, and the community. Additionally, we have the promise and support of our Board of Education to provide the resources necessary to reach our goals of making our children the overarching priority, while continuing to be fiscally responsible. During my 25+ year journey in education, I have been able to touch many lives, and in return have my life enriched by some amazing people inclusive of all of the bumps, bruises, and life lessons. In short, I have a beautiful and brilliant daughter, recently lost both parents, and have had the opportunity to work with people who are passionate about educating children. During my tenure in education, I have served in the following positions: training coordinator, teacher, adjunct instructor, training consultant, assistant principal, dean, principal, director of curriculum and technology, director of personnel and human resources, and finally superintendent of schools. I am privileged and blessed to work with a team that is aware of the magnitude of this endeavor, the impact of reaching our collective goals, and its effect on future generations. We realize that "it is our reasonable duty to educate All children, acting as though it were impossible to fail, and realizing that Good Enough, Never Is."
