William Jerry Smith, Principal

Introduction:

I am honored to have been appointed as the new Principal of Woodrow Wilson Elementary School. I would like to take a moment of your time to introduce myself and share with you my goals for the upcoming school year. I began my education journey almost 16 years ago as the Grades 6 - 8 Mathematics teacher in this same school. I didn’t even have a designated classroom back then as I was affectionately known as “Math on Wheels”. Over the past 16 years I have had the pleasure of experiencing a number of positions within the New Brunswick School System ranging from Math Specialist to Vice Principal and now Principal.

As our students begin this school year, my goals are to ensure that:

• Your children feel safe and happy at school.

• There is a productive learning environment in each classroom.

• Our students work to their maximum potential.

• Our children develop social skills that allow them to interact with others in a positive manner.

• Parents, staff, and students work in a partnership with mutual respect.

In closing, I look forward to working with each of you in support of your child, and I have no doubt in my mind that we will have a successful academic year.

William Jerry Smith

Principal, Woodrow Wilson
