Dear Antrim Community Members,                                           

I am honored to join the Antrim community as the new Principal of Antrim Elementary School (AES). When AES staff, students, parents and community members work together, we ensure every child is supported, nurtured, engaged and challenged throughout their time here.  I am committed to the vision of a student-centered community that focuses on teaching, learning, respect and caring.  In my new role as principal of AES, my first actions will focus on the following goals:

  1. Develop my understanding of and appreciation for what is unique and important to the Antrim Community.
  2. Establish a collegial, effective and, productive relationships with all members of the AES community
  3. Establish a system for clear communication with families, students, staff, and community members.
  4. Discover AES’s strengths, acknowledge, and validate AES’s strengths and past successes
  5. Develop a shared vision of growth for AES
  6. Collaboratively develop and implement a strategic plan for continuous school improvement that incorporates relevant research and feedback from staff, parents, students, and extended community members (e.g., district personnel).

In order to do this work, I have created an entry plan that outlines a sequence of activities that will provide me with opportunities to learn from individuals representing staff, parents, and students of the Antrim community, as well as some of Antrim’s community leaders. As I meet with individuals, my intent is to listen with great care and attention in order to begin to learn and work collectively and cooperatively to ensure that the academic, social, and emotional needs of all students are met. 

Warmest regards,

Beth Gibney – Principal
