From the Principal

Dear Parent and/or Legal Guardian,

It is with great pride that I introduce myself to you as the new Babeck Elementary School Principal. I am excited and truly blessed to be serving the Edgewood Community in this capacity and look forward to working with such a caring and dedicated community and staff in order to meet the needs of all of our students. With the school year quickly drawing near, I hope that everyone is having a wonderful summer break! I want to thank you in advance for your commitment to Babeck Elementary. Our OAA data will soon be released by the state. Babeck will most likely receive a "Continuous Improvement" rating by the state of Ohio. Due to the recent state of the economy and reduction in force, there will be schedule and staff changes to help us maximize teacher strengths in order to increase our instructional strategies with the students. Our Building Leadership Team and staff will continue to focus upon improving our educational standing. We have already started to analyze and implement strategies to improve our staff, students, building and community.

During our Administrative Retreat in June, the district administration emphasized the importance of implementing our School Improvement Plan. There have been some big changes with the administrators, as well as certified and classified staff. We must emphasize that our goal is still to foster positive student gains.

As a teacher, coach, and administrator for the past 19 years in the Princeton City School and Edgewood City School Districts, I contend that all children can learn and have the right to actively pursue their goals in a safe climate conducive to learning. To that end, educators have a responsibility to continually strive for professional excellence. As the building principal, it is my responsibility to insure each student's right to learn in a positive and collaborative environment. I will take seriously my responsibility to support, maintain and enforce the policies as set forth by the Edgewood Board of Education. Furthermore, I will support and cultivate strong, effective master teachers, and provide the necessary assistance and support to staff so that they may have a positive impact on the development of each child they influence at Babeck Elementary and in the community. I truly look forward to working with you and our outstanding staff in meeting the needs of our children! Have a safe and relaxing summer!

Respectfully,
Russ Fussnecker
