STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
Dear ABC Elementary School Family,
I am honored to be joining the ABC Elementary community and serving as
your new Principal beginning in the 2019-2020 school year. I pledge my
unyielding commitment to serve in the best interest of all students, parents, faculty,
and staff.
The purpose of this entry plan is to detail goals, action steps and timeline of
plans of the first 90 days that I assume my role as Principal. Many of these entry
plan activities involve input and feedback from all stakeholders, including faculty,
staff, students, parents, and community organizations. This will assist in developing
and refining our goals as a school. It is through collaboration that we will create a
shared vision that will enable us to identify areas of strength and opportunities for
growth.
Thank you in advance for your time, feedback, and support of ABC
Elementary School as we embark on a new school year together!

Yours in education,

Amy C. Moser
