Hello Magnificent Mustangs,

I am truly thrilled for a new year of full day learning with our young mustangs. We must turn the page on the last couple years because we have amazing learners ready to reconnect with the Arlington Experience like never before. Our learners are more techno literate and independent than ever.

Yes, this is a fresh year. And, we are continuing our STEAM initiative and 21st Century Skills approach to teaching and learning. We are the district’s first and foremost Project Lead the Way elementary. Obviously in our school we teach reading, writing and math. But our students and staff also balance concrete, hands on learning with art, music, PE, coding, engineering and robots because its engaging and innovative.

This may be my proudest year as Principal. And, I am equally proud to announce that our district has selected me to serve as the Extended Learning Opportunity Coordinator for elementary schools. Just as I’ve always designed an innovative and supportive learning experience for Arlington, I have the privilege of supporting all the elementary and K-8 schools in their efforts to develop innovative programs to engage and reconnect students to outstanding learning throughout our district.

To assist in leading Arlington, Kim Callendar will be our Vice Principal.
