Greetings Parents and Guardians:

It is with great pleasure that I welcome our scholars to the 2023-2024 school year at Allgood Elementary School. As we start another exciting year of teaching and learning, I encourage our students to take advantage of the wonderful learning opportunities and resources we have in store for our “Allstar Scholars.” I encourage parents to partner with us in their child’s education and to reach out to us for instructional resources to support your efforts to help your child(ren) at home.

The 2023-24 school year marks my 29th year as an educator. I have served as a classroom teacher for New York City Schools, The Archdiocese of Atlanta, Atlanta Public Schools, and Dekalb County Schools. Respectively, I had the privilege of serving as a Literacy Coach, a Professional Development Specialist, an Assistant Principal of Instruction, and as an Adjunct Professor for Piedmont University. I bring a diverse range of experiences that have contributed to the successes Allgood Elementary has experienced.

I firmly believe all students are entitled to appropriate instruction aligned to their needs, and the collaboration of all stakeholders can strengthen student achievement. As we embark upon another exciting year, my goal is to continue encouraging innovative teaching and learning. As we continue soaring to new heights, I ask that you partner with us as we work diligently to ensure quality instruction is implemented in each classroom. Please join us throughout the year as we continue to “Rise Up” as Allstars. 

Once again, I welcome and encourage you to support our instructional program. 

Academically,
