Letter From Your New Principal
June 8, 2020
Dear Tiger Family,
My name is Scott Hoagland, and it is with great enthusiasm and excitement that I write this letter of introduction as the new principal of Speedwell Elementary School. The remarkable achievements and stellar reputation of Speedwell Elementary and its students are a true reflection of the support that the families and the Speedwell community provide for our school and for our students. I am humbled and honored to be in a position to serve our community, our staff, and our students, and I look forward to working with each of you to advance the achievement of our children and to strive for continued school improvement. While I am excited to begin working with our staff and students, I am also looking forward to the work we will do together.
The elementary years are important and critical times for students. What happens during these years will have a lasting impression on their growth, maturation, and development. I firmly believe that our purpose as educators is to address gaps in students’ learning, support challenges that are beyond students’ control, and motivate students to aspire to greatness. While there is no doubt the challenges of COVID-19 have weighed heavily on all of us, Speedwell Elementary school will continue to be a school that provides a quality education that effectively meets the emotional and academic needs of its students. My goal is to provide the leadership that will facilitate a school environment that is safe, respectable, and conducive to learning. This has been my philosophy since I began my career in education almost two decades ago.
Once again, I am grateful to have the opportunity to bring all that I have experienced and learned with me to the Speedwell community. I look forward to getting to know you and your children. Should you have any questions or need any assistance, I will be working Mondays through Fridays from 8:30am-3:30pm. I would also like to take this opportunity to remind you that online Pre-K and Kindergarten Registration is ongoing. You may access the registration links from either the Wythe County Public Schools website (https://wythe.k12.va.us/) or the Speedwell Elementary School website (https://speed.wythe.k12.va.us/).
Thank you for the opportunity to serve your families. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me if you have any questions, concerns, or ideas you would like to share.
Sincerely,
Scott L. Hoagland
Principal
