Dear UGE Family,

I am thrilled to introduce myself as your new Assistant Principal at Unity Grove Elementary. It is with great excitement and enthusiasm that I join this exceptional school community, renowned for its unwavering commitment to academic excellence and fostering a nurturing environment for all students.

I bring with me a wealth of experience in education, having spent the past 10 years dedicated to shaping young minds and uplifting the educational experience. Throughout my time in the field, I have witnessed firsthand the profound impact educators can have on the lives of their students, and I am fully committed to upholding and elevating UGE's tradition of excellence.

My educational journey includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology with an emphasis in counseling and a master's degree in elementary education, which has provided me with a deep understanding of the principles and techniques required to deliver high-quality instruction. I firmly believe that education goes beyond textbooks and tests. It is about fostering a love for learning, nurturing curiosity, and empowering students to become responsible, engaged citizens of our society.

In collaboration with each of you, I am dedicated to creating an environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. To achieve this, I plan to work closely with teachers, staff, parents, and other stakeholders to develop comprehensive strategies tailored to each student's unique needs. Ensuring their safety and well-being is of utmost importance. Additionally, I value the power of collaboration and open communication. By fostering strong partnerships among all stakeholders, we can create an atmosphere where everyone feels respected, heard, and valued.

On a personal note, I have been happily married for nine years and am blessed with three beautiful children. Family is a cornerstone of my life, and I approach my work with the same level of dedication and devotion. I am genuinely honored and inspired to be joining the UGE team, and I look forward to forging lasting relationships with each of you.

Together, I am confident that we will achieve great things and I am thrilled to contribute to the ongoing success and growth of our remarkable school community.

Please feel free to reach out to me at any time with your ideas, concerns, or suggestions. My door is always open, and I am here to serve as your partner in fostering a positive and purposeful educational experience for every student.

Here's to a fantastic year ahead!

Sincerely,

Jonathan Scott

Assistant Principal, Unity Grove Elementary
