It is with great pride and excitement that I write this.  I am honored to have the opportunity to serve District 7.  

My educational career has spanned over the course of over fifteen years.  I have worked with students ranging in age from Kindergarten through grade five in a variety of roles to include Teacher Assistant, Kindergarten teacher, Assistant Principal and Principal.  I am humbled to serve as an educational leader for District 7 Elementary School and to work with you as a partner in education to ensure your child's success.

I view education as a life-long process and expect that I will continue to learn much about the uniqueness of District 7 this year and in the years to come.  Most importantly, I bring a belief that students are at the center of all school-related decisions.  I am working diligently to ensure that all students have a learning environment that is conducive for them to collaborate, compete, and succeed in an increasingly interconnected world.  It is my belief that each child is capable of learning, each at his/her own pace, each at his/her own level when provided the appropriate opportunities. 

Children first,

Kamal Watkins
