Greetings from your new Principal
Summer Greetings
Dear Butler Community,
With great enthusiasm and bulldog pride, I write this letter of introduction to you as the new principal of the Butler Middle School. I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to serve and lead this community full of passionate and dedicated staff, an amazing student body, and a supportive parent community. My official start date was Monday, August 1st!
I have been dedicated to this profession for 21 years, I have worked in urban and suburban settings and with students ranging from K- 8 in district support roles to school base teaching and leading roles. I am excited to bring my skill set as a school leader and to work with you as a teammate and partner in our students’ success.
The Butler Middle School embodies a legacy of community and excellence spanning over 59 years, grounded in the core principles of scholarship, service, and spirit. My transition into the role of principal at Butler Middle School will be guided by the following essential questions:
• In what ways can I respect and build upon the rich culture of the Butler community, celebrating its diversity?
• How may I best encourage and support Butler’s culture of learning and provide an opportunity for ALL students’ success?
• What should I do to foster collaborative relationships with all stakeholders and build stronger partnerships?
Please be on the lookout for dates when I will hold stakeholder meetings. I will post dates on our school website. This will be an opportunity for me to meet community members and new families, and students new to our community. Relationships between families, community, and school are vital to the success of our school. I will also be in the building preparing for our upcoming school year, so please do not hesitate to stop by.
Thank you all for your kind and encouraging words, and I look forward to working with you. We are going to have a momentous year!
With Great Enthusiasm,
Mrs. Moody
