Dear Parents, Families and School Community:

It is with great pride that I write this letter of introduction to you as the principal of Whitman Elementary. I am honored to have the opportunity to lead a school with rich traditions and a long-standing record of excellence.

Whitman is a dedicated school with a staff of highly qualified teachers. As a learning community, Whitman will strive to nurture and inspire success for all students with PRIDE. Our teachers work collaboratively to provide excellence in education and a well-rounded learning experience. We have a variety of before and after school activities and fun family nights.

For those of you who do not know me, I have been dedicated to the field of education for the past twelve years, serving students and families as a teacher, an Instructional Coach, and an Administrator. I have two children of my own who provide me with the challenge of seeing education from the Administrator and the parent perspective. I am so excited to bring my skills as an educational leader to Whitman to work with you as a partner in education to ensure every child’s success.

All of us at Whitman are eager and excited to have a great year! This year we are working as a team to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant and builds relationships. As your Principal, I want to motivate people to strive for their very best while being there to support them when they struggle. I believe a successful school is a community where students and staff come to school every day feeling safe and knowing they are in the right place. I am truly blessed to be the instructional leader of such an awesome school community. Go Wildcats!

At Whitman, we can, and we will have PRIDE, Perseverance, Responsibility, Integrity, Dreams, and Excellence.

Sincerely,
Mrs. Bishop
