Dear Oakville Elementary Families,
I am honored to take this opportunity to briefly introduce myself. My name is Kimberly Tooley and it is with great pride and excitement that I write this letter of introduction to you as the newly appointed Principal of Oakville Elementary School. I have been dedicated to the field of education for more than twenty-one years. My experience consists of 13 years as a classroom teacher, in the elementary school setting, for which the majority of those years I spent teaching third grade. I have been an administrator for the past eight years in the Hillsboro School District. For six years I was an Assistant Principal at Hillsboro Intermediate School and for the past two years I have been the Principal at Hillsboro Elementary School I do begin this journey with experience and knowledge of the social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs of students at this level. I am delighted to bring my leadership skills to Oakville Elementary and to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child’s success.
I realize the education of children is a difficult job, and cannot be accomplished without the assistance of parents and supportive families. I encourage parents/guardians to be active participants in the education of our students. The easiest way is to maintain effective lines of communication. I believe the home/school partnership is essential. As Principal, my door is always open and I welcome your input. If you have concerns, praises, suggestions, or ideas to make this the best year yet feel free e-mail me at tooleyk@msdr9.org.
My official start date was July 2, 2018 so I am officially a part of the OES family. I am truly blessed to be the instructional leader of such an awesome school community. I promise you I will work diligently, in partnership with our talented staff, to provide an excellent educational experience for the students of Oakville Elementary School. I cannot wait to meet you and thank you for sharing your child with us.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kimberly Tooley, Principal
Oakville Elementary School
