Dear Snow School Staff, Families, and Students,
It is with great excitement and pride that I write this letter of introduction to you as the newly selected Principal of Wilbert Snow School. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school that has been home to me for 19 years. This feeling is one that is due to the teachers, staff, parents and students that I have had the privilege to interact and work with throughout the years. I am thankful to have the opportunity to bring my skills and experiences as an educator, instructional specialist, and now a leader to Snow School and to work with you as a partner in ensuring each child’s success - emotionally and academically.
My leadership style is one that is guided by the belief that when all members of the school community work collaboratively together, positive change can occur. Therefore, I will work hard to build relationships with teachers, staff, parents, students and community partners. Working together, I know that we will be able to build on the many successes Snow School has already achieved while continuing to review and develop an educational program that challenges, motivates, and engages students in daily learning. Together, we will embrace opportunities for continued growth, innovation, and rigorous and relevant instructional practices that result in increased achievement for ALL students.
As your Principal, it is important to me that everyone who enters our school – teachers, students, and parents – are excited to be here and feel welcome. I will work tirelessly to create a positive, nurturing, and consistent environment that enables us to begin a great year together and to create memorable experiences and meaningful change.
Snow School will host its Open House on Monday, August 26th from 5p.m. – 6p.m. for kindergarten families and Tuesday, August 27th from 5p.m. – 6p.m. for grade 1 – 5 families. Please stop by and say hello. I eagerly await meeting all new members of our Snow School community in addition to seeing many familiar faces.
Most sincerely,
Colleen M. Fitzpatrick
