Principal’s Message: Tuttle Avenue School

Welcome Tuttle Avenue School Families & Friends

I am thrilled to serve as the principal of Tuttle Avenue School and to be part of a community so dedicated to the growth, success, and well-being of our students. My goal is to work alongside students, families, and staff to create a nurturing environment where every child can thrive.

My journey in education began in the classroom, where I had the privilege of teaching students across many grade levels, including General Education, Special Education, and English Language Learner programs. Working with a diverse group of learners has given me a deep appreciation for each child’s unique strengths, as well as the challenges they may face. I also served as an assistant principal for six years, supporting teachers, fostering collaboration, and helping to create classrooms where students felt valued and encouraged to reach their full potential.

At Tuttle Avenue, we strive to cultivate a school culture rooted in connection, creativity, leadership, and continuous growth. Through our Leader in Me program, we empower students to take ownership of their learning, set and achieve meaningful goals, practice personal responsibility, collaborate effectively, and develop the leadership and life skills needed to succeed academically and socially.

I am incredibly proud that, this past school year, Tuttle Avenue School earned Lighthouse Certification through Leader in Me. This accomplishment is a true reflection of the hard work, dedication, and commitment of our students, families, and staff. It represents the strong sense of community we have built together and our shared belief in empowering every child to grow as a leader. This achievement belongs to our entire Tuttle family, and I could not be more proud of all that we accomplished together.

We value strong partnerships with families and staff to ensure that every child feels welcomed, challenged, supported, and inspired. I am excited to continue building on all that makes Tuttle Avenue so special and to work together to support the learning, growth, and success of every child.
