May at Kathryn Winn Primary

I want to share with all of our KWP families that I will retire at the end of this school year. The past 12 years have been truly incredible, and I feel so grateful to have been part of this community. Together, we have worked to grow KWP into the school it is today—earning national recognitions such as Leader in Me Lighthouse and Legacy status, as well as being named a PLC Model School honoring our teachers’ strong and collaborative planning teams.These accomplishments reflect the dedication, heart, and commitment of our students, staff, and families. It has been an honor to serve as your principal and to witness the growth and success of our school community.

As I move into this next chapter, I do so with great joy and confidence, knowing that KWP is in excellent hands. Danielle Hamilton, our current Instructional Coach, has been named the next principal. I have complete confidence in her leadership and know she will continue to support and inspire both students and staff as KWP continues to grow and achieve even more.

Thank you for your ongoing support, partnership, and trust over the years. KWP will always hold a special place in my heart.

What an incredible year it has been! Our students have shown tremendous growth in both reading and math, building strong foundational skills, increasing their confidence, and rising to meet high expectations every single day. From engaging in meaningful discussions to applying new strategies independently, it has been exciting to watch their progress and perseverance shine through.

As we celebrate all of these accomplishments, we are also preparing for our final i-Ready Diagnostic in reading and math, which will begin next Thursday. This assessment will give us valuable insight into the growth our students have made this year and help guide next steps as we finish strong. We are so proud of all their hard work!

What is Anxiety? Anxiety is a normal emotion that everyone experiences- it's our bodies way of reacting to stress or danger. In small amounts, it can help keep us alert and safe. But when anxiety becomes too strong or happens to often, it can get in the way of a child's daily life.
