Principal's Welcome

Dear William Brooks Parents and Guardians,

I am excited to welcome everyone to the new school year. As the principal of William Brooks, I feel it is important to share that I am passionate about education and supporting the students, families, and staff at our school. I feel blessed to have the opportunity to serve as the instructional leader for our school community. I take great pride in the learning opportunities that we provide to all students at William Brooks.

I believe that building positive relationships is a key element to moving learning forward. I know the importance of building learning environments that are engaging and safe, where students are encouraged to take risks, make mistakes, and ask questions. I believe these are critical components for the success of all of our students.

As a principal, I pride myself on putting students at the center of all of my decisions. I feel it is important to be engaged in the daily activities and learning opportunities on campus and, therefore, can often be found out and about on campus. I am frequently out front welcoming our students to school in the mornings, visiting classrooms throughout the day, and engaging with students during recess times. This allows me to connect with students, staff and our parent community and to be attuned to the academic and social/emotional needs of our students and families.

I also believe that a school cannot work in isolation when our goal is student success. It takes our school staff, parents, and students working together to reach this goal. If I can ever be of assistance, please feel free to call, email, or stop by to see me.

Sincerely,

Noel Stedeford

Principal
