Principal Angry on Leave until December 15

10/18/2021

 
Dear Parents and Families of Miner Elementary School,

As Miner’s Principal for School Year 2021-2022, I am committed to helping our school provide joyful and rigorous educational experiences geared toward the learning and success of all students. Communicating home about school leadership updates is a critical part of maintaining strong partnerships with families.

As some of you may know, I suffered a recent accident that required surgery. As a result of this incident, and upon the insistence of my doctor, I will be on medical leave until December 15th. I am extremely disappointed that I won’t be able to come back to work as I had hoped. However, I believe that taking this time now will enable me to come back focused and without limitations. I have great faith in the incredible Miner leadership team and our teachers and staff to maintain our student’s continued growth and success.

During my leave, Instructional Superintendent Stover has assigned Sean Bellamy, current assistant principal of J.O. Wilson, to provide administrative coverage, as well as support to Assistant Principal Coleman, Ms. Offor, and Ms. Woodson. Mr. Bellamy will be on site at least four days a week, starting Tuesday, October 19. Additionally, members of the Cluster IV Support Team will provide extra support and coverage, maintaining a consistent schedule at the school.

It is important to us all that our students continue to receive a high-quality education and that staff changes do not drastically impact their learning. Miner will continue to be the loving, challenging environment in which we know our scholars can thrive!
​

If you have further questions, please contact Instructional Superintendent Stover at shawn.stover@k12.dc.gov.


Sincerely,
Katrel Angry
Principal, Miner Elementary School
