Change is On The Horizon
If you’ve been following me for very long you know that I took the position of Principal/Lead Learner at Navasota Intermediate this past school year.
It has been the most challenging yet most rewarding year of my career and I wouldn’t change it for the world.
This next school year, there will be some changes in my district. Currently we have a PreK-3rd Grade campus (Webb Elementary; about 900 students) and a 4-5 campus (Mine; Navasota Intermediate; about 350 students). There is also a PreK-5 campus (High Point Elementary) that is on the southern tip of our county. As part of another reconstitution, Webb Elementary and my campus will be becoming PreK-5 campuses, so that our district can have three campus that can now be aligned.
That would also mean that my campus would get a name change and be gaining more kids, and the Webb campus would be decreasing at the same time.
I am thrilled about this change. I really believe having a campus with those ages on it will be huge to building even stronger relationships and helping every child find their version of success.
Last week though something interesting happened.
I was asked to move over to Webb Elementary next year as the principal there. Talk about a huge vote of confidence to move over to a campus with a much larger student population.
After talking with my administrative team (who would be moving over with me), and after praying about it, I felt like this was the right move at this time. I can’t wait to interact with even more staff, students, and parents.
Due to the reconstitution as well, I will not be leaving my entire current staff behind. With the restructuring of the grade levels there will be quite a bit of movement of staff and in the coming weeks we (the other two principals and myself) will be looking at just who will be going where.
I can’t wait for this next stage in my journey. I have absolutely loved my time at Navasota Intermediate, and will finish out this year blazing strong. Here’s to the next chapter in the story.
