Welcome to Miss Weisgerber
Dear Parents/Guardians,
It is with great pleasure that I write to you and introduce myself as the incoming Vice Principal of Ross Glen School. There is no doubt that the community of Ross Glen is strong and I look forward to working alongside this already well-built team.
I have been in education for 11 years, 4 of those years being in administration at Elm Street School (Vice Principal). I have a Bachelor of Science and a Bachelor of Education from the University of Lethbridge, as well as a Masters in Education from the University of Lethbridge, as well. In my personal life, I am an auntie to my 5 year old nephew and 3 year old niece, who I enjoy spoiling on a regular basis. As well, I enjoy being outdoors - hiking, running and walking my dog, Beau (a polar white labrador).
My education philosophy is to build strong relationships and to have high expectations for students, as all students are capable when we, as educators, give them the opportunity to progress in their learning.
As I begin this journey at Ross Glen School, I look forward to collaborating with staff and parents, as we collectively work together for the betterment of the students of Ross Glen School.
Looking forward to meeting you all!
Ashton Weisgerber
