Principal's Warrior Wrap-Up: Welcome Back!

Even though it was a short week, it was a great one! The building was full of energy and excitement! I really enjoyed seeing everyone, catching up and hearing about all of the summer adventures! The classrooms were bustling with the hum of student voices building community and relationships with their teachers and classmates! As I visit classrooms, I try to capture moments of learning to share with families. I post these photos on our TPS Instagram @tpswarriors. Be sure to follow us to check out all of the amazing things our Warriors are doing day in and day out here at TPS!

Have you seen our new sign out front?! A very special thank you to the Brent Fisk and his Scouts for doing an amazing job making and painting the sign, as well as cleaning up the landscaping around it! It came out amazing and I couldn't be more proud of their efforts! Thank you, too, to the TPS PTA for initiating this project and for supporting it!

😊Maybe you missed all of the excitement out front on the first day of school! Some very lucky Warriors and their friends rode to school in VIP style with the Princeton Fire Department and the Princeton Police Department! I can never say enough how very grateful I am to these departments who are so involved in our school. Our students and staff are so lucky to have them.

⭐I wanted to update you on changes to special education and 504 Plans. Mr. Okie, our Assistant Principal, will be in charge of 504 Plans this year. While we work through the hiring process for our Team Chair position, Mr. Okie and I will be working together to chair meetings. Please reach out to both of us or your child's case manager with any IEP related questions.

👋I'd like to take a second to reintroduce myself to our new TPS families! This year marks my 25th year in education, twenty one years spent in the classroom teaching and three years in administration! For the last two and a half years, I have been the Assistant Principal here at TPS! I took over as the Interim Principal last March. Not only do I work in the district, but I grew up and reside here as well! I am the proud Mom of two boys, who keep my husband and I very busy with activities and school events of their own. I am very excited to be the Interim Principal here at TPS and truly look forward to the amazing year ahead!
