Welcome our New Assistant Principal, Nicole Scesney! |
I am pleased to announce that Ms. Nicole Scesney has been named the new assistant principal of Graham Road Elementary School. Her official start date will be April 12, 2021.
Ms. Scesney is currently the instructional coach at Braddock Elementary. Prior to Braddock, Ms. Scesney was at Bailey’s Elementary for 11 years where she served in various positions including instructional coach, local screening committee chair and special education lead and special education teacher.
Ms. Scesney holds the belief that we can and will raise the academic bar for all students. Her record of success speaks to this belief as she has worked closely with teachers and administrators to set rigorous school goals and through data analysis and the creation of strong action plans, schools and teachers met those goals. Ms. Scesney also values strong family and community partnerships. She spearheaded projects to solicit parent feedback to improve processes and procedures at school to maximize engagement of all families and all stakeholders.
Ms. Scesney brings many years of experience in the areas of instructional leadership, Title I, special education, English Language Learners and collaboration. She’s facilitated professional development for teachers at her schools and throughout the district in the areas of facilitation, special education, Tier 3 instruction and mathematics.
Ms. Scesney holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree from the University of Buffalo as well as a Master of Education Degree Marymount University. Ms. Scesney has also earned her Masters in Educational Leadership from George Mason University.
Ms. Scesney lives in Vienna with her husband and three daughters who are 4, 5 and 10 years old. In her spare time she enjoys cooking with her children, going to the gym, and watching the Buffalo Bills.
Please join me in welcoming Ms. Scesney as the new Assistant Principal of Graham Road Elementary!
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank our Interim Assistant Principal, Ms. LaTonya Floyd. Ms. Floyd has been with us since March 2, 2021 and thanks to her leadership and commitment to service, we’ve had an incredibly smooth transition back to school for half of our students. As she transitions back to her position as a math resource teacher at Woodburn Elementary, we wish her all the best in her leadership journey!
