Greetings+from+Tammy+Summerville

Dear Mountain Gap P-8 School Community,

Greetings! I am Tammy Summerville, your new Principal at Mountain Gap P-8. I am thrilled to begin the new school year at Mountain Gap, and look forward to meeting students, staff, parents, and community members.

As I make this transition to the Mountain Gap community, I am aware of the anticipation and eagerness that accompanies new leadership in any organization. I know that change can provoke both excitement and anxiety. It is my goal to spend my first several months learning about our school and all of its stakeholders. I eagerly anticipate getting to know the Mountain Gap community, and learning about your hopes and dreams for our school. What is important to you about Mountain Gap? What do you want to learn more about? What are you most proud of? What do you want us to work on?

Finding out the answers to these questions is one of my “Entry Plan” goals, if you will. I believe that genuine collaboration fosters ownership of a rich school culture. Supporting our kids to do well at school, and in their lives, is the center of our work. I am honored to have been selected to serve this community, and will work hard to gain your trust and respect as the Principal of Mountain Gap P-8.

July 15th is my first official day! Please feel free to stop in, and introduce yourself to me. I will be at school most every day beginning the first week of July. There is a lot of excitement ahead for me as the new principal and I’m looking forward to meeting the school community.

If you need to contact me prior to July 15, I may be reached at tsummerville@mtngap.org.

Wishing you a safe, fun, and relaxing summer break!

Sincerely, Tammy Summerville, Ed.D.
