Welcome Eagles!  It is an absolute privilege to serve as the Dean at Veterans Elementary School.  As I begin my sixteenth year in education, eighth within the Norris School District, I am thrilled to continue in this new role, and amazing opportunity, as Dean again this year.  Being a member of this incredible community, in any capacity, is truly an honor!

This year, unlike any other, marks the beginning of an unprecedented era for our school staff, students, and community.  While navigating these uncertain times is challenging and often difficult, one important factor remains the same - excellence is the norm here and we are committed to making this the best year!  I’m pleased to share with you that our amazing staff remains motivated to offer a quality learning experience whether it’s from a distance, blended, or in a traditional setting.   

With our intentions set for ensuring every student receives nothing short of a meaningful school experience, we want to remind our community that this is not a job for a single person.  In fact, we have faith and belief in the power of teamwork and aim to partner with you every step of the way. Always know, we are genuinely committed to your student’s educational journey and whole-heartedly invested in one another.  As our Norris Board of Trustees have expressed so perfectly, we will lean into the hard, and in that we will lean on one another.  

In the end, there is no strong like Eagle Strong!  #VESEagleStrong
