Principal's Weekly Update
Dec. 17, 2023
From our Principal
After twenty-seven years of service to students in Montgomery County Public Schools and our community, the time has come for me to begin the next chapter of my life. Working alongside such committed staff, caring parents and talented students has been an immense privilege and honor. I am grateful for the opportunities, experiences, and relationships during my tenure as principal of North Chevy Chase Elementary School.
As I prepare for retirement, I want to express my heartfelt gratitude to the staff who have supported NCC during my years of service here and beyond. I am pleased to have been able to partner with wonderful parents and PTA leadership every year. Most of all, I am excited about students who continue to excel and grow into outstanding members of the global community. I leave with fond memories and rich relationships that I have developed with everyone in our school community. Thanks for your continued support of the staff and students of North Chevy Chase Elementary School.
Please remember to bring your photo identification with you when you are visiting the school. You will need it when entering the building and when signing your child out for the day. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause but we must protect the security and safety of the students and staff at all times.

From the PTA
Please join the PTA in congratulating and celebrating Principal Wallace-Kimbrue's thirteen and one half years of service at North Chevy Chase Elementary as Principal, twenty-seven years of service in MCPS and her retirement effective January 1, 2024.
Students and staff will celebrate and say farewells on Thursday, December 21st at 3pm with cake and the presentation of commemorative items from the PTA. Students may also present cards, flowers and other well wishes at this time.
As announced, Mr. Matt Johnson will serve as Interim Principal while MCPS undertakes the hiring process for a new Principal to begin in Fall 2024. Mr. Johnson served as Interim Principal last Fall and was well-received by students. The PTA is pleased that a Principal familiar to NCC and our community was selected. As is customary, there will be opportunities for current and incoming families to provide input and discussion about the hiring process and the potential new hire. MCPS will provide further information soon including a survey for our community to provide input and feedback to the MCPS Hiring Committee. Please check PTA Updates in the next 2-3 months to ensure you do not miss them!
As the hiring process is starting sooner than anticipated, the PTA wants to hear from YOU!
