After 14 years at SB-L I have accepted a new job as an elementary principal of a 3-5 building as well as district special educaiton director with the Prairie City Monroe School District. This was a very hard decision, but one that I felt was right at this time for myself and my family. It will be bittersweet having to say good-bye to so many friends and families but I am looking foward to a new adventure living in Des Moines and being near my daughter, Alexis. The district is currently advertising for a new principal and hopes to have hiring complete by the end of May. Thank you for all your support and the well wishes I have already received.

This way we keep them in class as long as possible in the event you are running late to pick them up. Advance notice to the office will help us locate your student more quickly. Coming 5 minutes early will also help get your child out the door on time when leaving early.
