Principal Message

It is my pleasure to welcome you to M. M. Seylar Elementary School. As principal, it is a distinct honor and privilege to be part of such a truly special place. It is apparent that the high quality of instruction and friendly interactions creates a positive learning environment for all. Our P.R.O.U.D. Program serves as a foundation for students when interacting with classmates and adults. These guiding principles are Be Proactive, Raise the Bar, Be Optimistic, Be United, and Be Determined.  

 

First, I would like to take a moment to share a little of my background. Before coming to Pennridge School District, I served as assistant principal within the Centennial School District. I began my professional career working at Wellsboro Area School District, where I was hired as a Read to Succeed teacher assessing and remediating struggling k-1 students with reading skills. In addition, I taught kindergarten for three years. At Central Bucks School District, I taught first and sixth grades. After completing my administrative internship, I took on several leadership roles within this district. This included district level instructional coach, building level technology coach, curriculum revision facilitator, and staff development facilitator. 

The dedicated staff and support personnel strive to meet all children’s needs. This is done through engaging lessons using targeted instruction in a small group setting. A walk through our hallways reveals various learning abilities from the standard-based student work hanging up on the walls. In addition, we prepare ourselves to assist students as they work toward these standards by engaging in conversation with colleagues and by pursuing advanced coursework.

Finally, the relationship between home and school is the cornerstone of any successful school. Parents and family members play a vital role in the school community and are always welcome to visit. Another example of this is our Home and School Association. They have continually supported our initiatives while also providing fun activities for students. These partnerships not only create a positive school culture, but that all children have the opportunity to grow. 

We look forward to working with every family this school year, and if you have any questions feel free to contact me.

 

Sincerely,
Miles Roe
