Hello Linda Verde families, staff and students,
Welcome to the 2019-20 school year! I am truly excited to join this vibrant community of families and students. The secret has gotten out that Linda Verde has the best teachers, staff, students and families ever and as a result we are growing and expanding. This year our school has grown to include the 6th grade DLI Academy. By 2021, our DLI Academy will extend through the eighth grade.
I am honored to join the Linda Verde School community as we continue to develop a caring, nurturing learning environment that facilitates academic excellence for all students through our exemplary programs.
I have been an educator for over twenty years, as a classroom teacher, an instructional coach, and as a district and school administrator.
As a collaborative educational leader, I rely on the tremendous expertise of our Linda Verde team of educators. We will collaborate together to meet the following goals:
- Increase the academic achievement of all students through strong instructional practice and implementation of the common core state standards
- Build up our school climate and culture to ensure that every student, teacher, staff member and family feels welcome and engaged in our Linda Verde School community
- Ensure that each of our Linda Verde scholars are supported to become outstanding citizens with global competencies
In community,
Heather Durant
Principal
