It is with great excitement and honor that I join the Snapfinger family as the new Assistant Principal. I am truly grateful for the opportunity to help lead a school with such a dedicated staff, scholars, and a supportive community.

With nearly a decade of experience in education, I have had the privilege of working with scholars from Kindergarten through 5th grade in various roles, including classroom teacher, reading specialist, and educational leader.

 

My passion for educational excellence is matched by my commitment to fostering an inclusive and collaborative school culture. I believe in the power of data-driven instruction and the importance of building strong partnerships between teachers, parents, and administrators to ensure every scholar thrives. My experience mentoring educators, supervising paraprofessionals, and leading professional development initiatives has allowed me to create environments where scholars feel supported and teachers are empowered to succeed.

At Snapfinger Elementary, I am eager to partner with the leadership team, staff, and families to continue the outstanding work already being done. Together, we will strive to provide the best learning experiences for our scholars and ensure that each child reaches their fullest potential. I look forward to contributing to our school's success and building lasting relationships within this wonderful community.

All the Best,

Natasha Patten-Thompson
Assistant Principal, Snapfinger Elementary School
