Woodbury Junior-Senior High Community Newsletter
January 8 Community Newsletter
Hello Parents and Guardians,
This week's Newsletter contains a number of celebrations including Students of the Month and a Staff Feature. Alumni from the class of 2022 share wisdom they have gleaned from outside the comfortable confines of our school. I am some glad that they shared information with High School students.
I would also like to welcome our new Junior High Vice Principal Mylisa Himmons. Please read her welcome letter below along with her meet and greet dates and times.
Hope you enjoy the features below. Happy New Year!
Principal Taylor
Welcome Ms. Himmons
It is an honor to introduce myself as the new Assistant
Principal of Woodbury Junior High School. I am excited
and humbled to become a part of Woodbury Junior High
School’s extraordinary school culture and community. I hope
that this letter finds you and your family well rested and
rejuvenated from winter break. I can assure you that I share
in this school district 's commitment to caring for your
students each and every day while providing them a
“personalized learning environment.”
I come to Woodbury as a seasoned middle school special
education teacher and building leader. In addition to my role
as an educator, I am the mother of two beautiful daughters
and grandmother (Mimi) of three.
Educational leadership and student achievement, at all levels,
are- my passions. This principalship provides me the chance
to work collaboratively with teachers on a daily basis, while
also connecting to students' learning and growth. I firmly
believe that every child can excel and that the partnership
between home and school is essential. Holding high
expectations, I am committed to always exploring new ways
to meet the needs of all students and to effectively
communicate with students, parents, staff and community
members.
My first Meet and Greet opportunity will take place on
January 18th, from 4:00 p.m. to 6 p.m. at the JR/SR High
library. Light refreshments will be available.
