Meet Our New Assistant Principal, Dwight Williams
Elk Families!
I am so excited to share that Dwight Williams will be our new Assistant Principal at Elkins Elementary School.
Williams has 8 years of experience serving students in EMS-ISD. Williams began his career serving as a teacher and coach at Creekview Middle School for five years. Most recently, he served as an AVID and social studies teacher and varsity assistant basketball coach at Saginaw High School.
Originally from Fort Worth, Williams received his Master in Educational Leadership from the University of North Texas and his Bachelor of Arts from the University of North Texas. Williams was a graduate of Boswell High School.
During his free time, Williams enjoys spending time with his wife, Torrie, and their son Jacoby. When not at school, he can usually be found spending time at his church and with friends and family.
Williams was quoted saying “I am very excited to transition into this role and serve the students, teachers and community that encompasses Elkins Elementary.”
We will be planning a "Popsicles with the Principals" on August 2nd so our community can stop by and welcome Mr. Williams to Elkins.

Summer Reading Bingo
A hard copy of our Summer Reading Bingo was sent home the last week of school and shared on TEAMS for our remote learners. (Feel free to print the one below if you are new or just need a new one.)
Students should complete each square on the Bingo Card and return it our librarian, Ms. Ingram, by September 1, 2021 to be entered in a drawing to win one of many fabulous prizes!
For bonus entries, students can share pictures of yourself reading on social media. Be sure to tag @EMS_Libraries and use the hashtags #EMSreads and #EMSproud and #WeAreElks.
