Welcome to the 2010-2011 School Year From Your North Area Superintendent

The summer has gone by very quickly and it is hard to believe we are starting a new school year. I hope you were able to spend time relaxing over the summer with family and friends. August is here and it is time to welcome our students back to school!

We are very excited to announce the following new principals for our Area:

Sharonda Bailey McNab Elementary Melissa Geraine Westchester Elementary Kathy Good Coconut Creek Elementary Tom Schroeder Margate Elementary Earnest Toliver Margate Middle Latosha Williams North Lauderdale Elementary

Principals new to their schools are:

Karla Gary Orange Pinewood Elementary Ray LeFevre Norcrest Elementary Roberta Ray Tamarac Elementary Kellee Stroup Country Hills Elementary Hudson Thomas Pompano Beach High

We are facing some unprecedented challenges in the new year. You may notice some changes in staffing, procedures and classes offered this year, but please be assured that our dedicated staffs are committed to providing the same high quality education as in past years.

Throughout the school year our North Area website posts information regarding the Parent Advisory meetings, as well as other information of interest to you and your families. Look us up at:

I wish your children an exciting and successful 2010-2011!
