Back-to-School with Principal Nichol Klein and Assistant Principal Deanna Sainten of Pomeroy

At Pomeroy Elementary School, Principal Nichol Klein and Assistant Principal Deanna Sainten are looking forward to continuing the work that was started in the last couple of years. “And that work has been about building cultural responsiveness and promoting equity across campus,” said Nichol. 

As far as new things go, there’s a lot to look forward to...

"This is the first year where every grade level has things to collaborate on across grade levels,” said Deanna. "Kinder through 3rd will be using SEAL strategies, and 4th through 6th will be using tools from Summit, our personalized learning platform.” 

Empowering parents will also be a big focus for the Pomeroy team this year. They plan to host parent education nights, so that parents can walk away with helpful resources and tools. 

And overall, some main areas that Nichol, Deanna, and Pomeroy staff will be devoted to are: Amping up the rigor in each classroom through the Personalized Learning Platform work, Parent Engagement, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports (PBIS), and using their What I Need (WIN) rotation work that is centered around language development. 
​
All of this work will no doubt lay the foundation for continuing to inspire a love of academic and social learning among Pomeroy students. Bring on the new school year!!
