๐พ ๐ We are so excited to work with SCSโs new principal! ๐ ๐พ
Dear Shady Cove Families, Students, and Staff,
I am honored to join Shady Cove School as your new principal. I wanted to take a moment to introduce myself and share how excited I am to become part of this community.
I bring more than 20 years of experience in education, having worked as a classroom teacher, district leader, and English learner program coordinator. Most recently, I served as Special Projects Director for Prospect Charter School District. Across every role, the thread that has stayed constant is this: I care deeply about students, and I believe the best work happens when families, staff, and community members are true partners in a child's education.
Meeting current staff has been the highlight of joining Shady Cove so far. I felt energized by the warmth, dedication, and pride I heard in every description of this school. I know that a change in leadership can bring a mix of emotions. I want to say clearly, I deeply respect the strengths already here at SCS, and the relationships and traditions that make this school what it is. My goal is not to walk in with all the answers, but to walk in ready to listen, learn, and build relationships with each of you.
In the coming weeks, I look forward to meeting students in the hallways, connecting with staff, and getting to know families across our community. Shady Cove is a place with a strong sense of identity, and I am grateful for the opportunity to be part of its next chapter.
Thank you for the warm welcome so far. I can't wait for the year ahead.
With gratitude and excitement,
Regina Jordan
Principal
Shady Cove School
