A Note from Mrs. Baker
Happy Summer Paramount Families!
I hope you are all having a relaxing and enjoyable summer! I am excited to start this journey as the new Principal at Paramount for the 2022-2023 school year. I am looking forward to getting to know the students and becoming a part of the wonderful things happening here!
I am coming to Paramount with a vast array of experiences. I was most recently at Eastern Elementary as the Assistant Principal for three years. Before that I was the lead teacher (instructional coach) and GATE teacher at Fountain Rock Elementary, a GATE teacher at Boonsboro Elementary and a classroom teacher (2nd, 3rd, & 4th) at Winter Street Elementary. I have learned a lot through my many different experiences and am truly passionate about making sure that what we do each and every day is in the best interest of our students! I value not only the academic portion of school but the opportunities to teach the social/emotional skills that are necessary to navigate our ever changing world.
Outside of school, I love to spend time with my family. I spend much of my time attending games, practices, shows and recitals. When I'm not busy with my kids, I believe there is nothing better than a long walk and a good book and if I'm really lucky, I may be able to get in some traveling.
Things are in full swing over here this summer. Mrs. Whittington is busy completing enrollments, and Mr. Mark and his custodial team are focused on getting the building ready for students to return. I have been getting to know the staff and working to get everything ready for the stat of the year.
We could use some help though! If you, or anyone you know, has a child that is ready to enroll in Kindergarten, please have them stop by to enroll, ASAP. Pre-K enrollment does not roll up to Kindergarten. We have our Kindergarten Camp starting the last week in July and our teachers are super excited to get to know their new students. Mrs. Whittington is available to enroll students Monday through Thursday from 7-3. We hope to see some new faces soon!
I hope you enjoy the rest of the summer and can't wait to meet you as we begin the new school year!
