Hello Sessions Elementary,
I am excited to be writing this letter of introduction to you as the new principal for the 2020/2021 school year at Sessions Elementary School. I am honored to have been chosen to lead a school with a rich tradition of high-quality public-school education. I have been in education for over 20 years, from my first position as a Kindergarten teacher to my most recent position as a Vice-Principal for at risk youth I have always worked to be a partner in education with our families and strived for excellence for all students.
Along with the teachers and staff at Sessions, I will work hard to continue the legacy of success established by our many diverse programs that support our students in becoming citizens of the world. Sessions Elementary is an authorized International Baccalaureate (IB) World School and we are proud of the work that our students do to expand their minds and are going to be working hard to maintain that rigorous academic approach to learning that our students and families have come to know. As you and your students work through this year keep the IB Learner Profile in mind and know that we are focusing students to become – Communicators, Caring, Principled, Reflective, Knowledgeable, Balanced, Open-Minded, Risk-takers, Thinkers and Inquirers.
This year is going to look like no other, as we start off by opening the year in an online learning format. While this is not what any of us have planned, our staff and teachers have been working hard behind the scenes to make this the best year yet. Thank you for your continued commitment to our school and I look forward to meeting all your families soon.
Thank you,
Tracey Makings, M.Ed.
Sessions Elementary School Principal
