My name is Michele Wooldridge and I am extremely honored to be the Principal of Hannah Marie Brown Elementary School.  I have been a building Principal for 17 years and loved every minute of it.  I believe in developing the whole child academically and through socio-emotional learning opportunities.  Opening this incredible community based school two years ago has been a dream come true. 

 

This year is going to be even more exciting and impactful as we dig deeper into each child's academic and socio-emotional levels, while progressing through each grade level's curriculum and standards.  We are excited to hit the ground running to grow, nurture and empower our students.  

​

As we continue to build the foundation of our school, we will maintain our focus on the five learning mindsets: 

​

*Create a safe, kind environment where everyone belongs and the whole child is developed.

*All students engage in rigorous academic work that is relevant, culturally

responsive, developmentally appropriate and innovative.  

*All stakeholders feel a sense of value for effort and growth as they progress through

a differentiated curriculum.

*All hands on deck!  Family engagement and communication are critical in the HMB ES community.

*Have fun, smile and be a kid!

​

In closing, I'd like to share a phrase that will become a very important phrase for our staff and stakeholders: 

 

Watch what we do to see what we believe. 

 

This is a promise that all of our actions will reflect a love of children and a passion for teaching and learning.  Thank you for being a partner with us in your child's educational journey.

 

Yours in education, 

​
