Welcome to the
2012-2013
new school year at
Dunlap Elementary!
I am truly delighted to be your Principal and I am looking forward to establishing a positive, supportive relationship with each and every family, student, and staff at the school. As the new Principal at Dunlap Elementary School, it is an honor to have the opportunity to serve such an outstanding community. It is my desire to work with you, your child, and the staff to continue to foster a strong sense of community in order to increase student achievement. I have heard many wonderful things about the community, students, staff, and school. I'm sure I will find that everything I've heard is absolutely true.
I started my educational career in Colton, California. During my twenty six years in education, I have worked as a sixth grade, third grade, second grade and first grade teacher, College Instructor, Curriculum Program Specialist, Assistant Principal, and Principal. I am a wife and a mother of two beautiful children, a 22-year old son and a 15-year old daughter. My personal life is just as busy and important as my professional life!
I understand the value of giving our children a quality education and being sensitive to the needs of our school community. It is my philosophy as the principal of Dunlap, that we provide the highest quality education for our students, as I would expect for my own children. From the varied experiences throughout my career, I have learned that the best method to increase and maintain high student achievement is to foster the development of a strong school community where the principal, staff, and parents collaborate in order to best meet the needs of their students.
I truly believe strong partnerships between parents and staff lead to academic success for all students. Therefore, I invite you to visit our school, your school, and to actively participate in your child's education. This participation may come in a variety of forms including: joining the PTA, working as a volunteer at the school, checking your child's homework and agenda on a daily basis, attending school-wide events and communicating questions or concerns to me and the teachers. My door is always open. I will make myself available to the best of my ability to ensure your questions or concerns are addressed.
Again, I am thrilled about being a member of this wonderful community.
With Sincerity,
Lindy Ward
Principal
