I hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday with time spent with friends and family. I’d like

to take this opportunity to introduce myself to you and say that I am thrilled to have this

opportunity to serve the students, families, school, and community of Wynantskill as

Superintendent/Principal. I truly feel blessed and honored to be here and look forward to

getting to know you all.

To that end, I’d like to invite you to two upcoming opportunities. Please feel free to stop in

on January 10 between 5:45 - 6:30 in the Library prior to the PTO meeting or from 5:30-

6:00 on January 19, also in the Library. I look forward to getting to know the families of

Gardner Dickinson School and hearing your perspectives on how Wynantskill is special.

Please know that the procedures and operations at school will be the same as they’ve been

all year. Mr. Lynskey and I will be working closely to ensure a seamless transition. Please

continue to work with Mr. Lynskey regarding any questions you may have with the daily

operations. Please know that should you need to contact me for any reason, I can be

reached at the District Office at 283-4679 ext. 14.

I do plan to be out and about in the building and in the classrooms to get to know all the

children. I’ve already had the pleasure of introducing myself to all the classes and can say I

am truly touched by the warm welcome I’ve received by the students and faculty.

Again, I am truly thankful to be here and feel very fortunate to work with you all as we

continue to program for the students in Gardner Dickinson School. I look forward to

                                                                                                        Sincerely,
