Dear Parents,

I’m extremely happy to join the staff of Halpin ECC as the new Principal. I am looking forward to partnering with you and the teachers to provide quality instruction and a safe environment. I recognize the importance of a strong home-school connection. Parents are every child’s first teacher and I believe that by working together, we can make sure your child’s social, emotional, and academic needs are met. Before joining Halpin, I served in a variety of teaching and educational leadership positions in the district. I even taught for 3 years here as a kindergarten teacher. I believe that great schools are the results of great teachers, so my primary objective will be to ensure that every student is receiving high-quality instruction from every teacher at Halpin. In order to do this, I will provide teachers with feedback on their instruction, access to professional development, and reach out to parents for support with academic and behavioral concerns to ensure our students are prepared for 21st century learning.

Thank you for the opportunity to serve your families as the principal of Halpin. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.

Sincerely,

Constance Lathan

Principal, Halpin Early Childhood Center
