John Adams Changes
Dear John Adams Elementary School Staff and Community:
As we look forward to this coming school year, several important leadership changes will support both key division-level initiatives and John Adams’ continued work towards meeting the needs of all students.
Mary Gibson will be coming to central office to work directly with Deputy Superintendent Cathy David on implementation of our very important Student Individualized Achievement Plans (IAPs) and other critical initiatives. Starting Monday, August 30, Grace Taylor will serve as interim principal. Ms. Taylor has been principal of George Washington Middle School and of Minnie Howard, and is now a Principal At Large, working on AVID and other programs. She is an Alexandria native and graduate of T.C. Williams. Read the entire letter at http://www.acps.k12.va.us/news2011/nr2010083001.php .
