Dear Ron Russell Families,
It is a bittersweet feeling for me to write the next sentence. I accepted a job at our district office for next year titled Director of Education (PreK-12). There are many components to this new position, but my main responsibilities will be to supervise/evaluate all David Douglas principals and to problem-solve with families and to work together to increase family involvement in David Douglas. While I’m looking forward to this new challenge, I cannot begin to tell you how much I will miss our students, families, and staff that make up the Ron Russell Community.
One of my first responsibilities as Director of Education is to collaborate with a team of David Douglas administrators, teachers, and parents to find our next principal of Ron Russell. This process has already begun and our team is committed to finding only the best leader for a fantastic middle school!
I want to thank you for six amazing years at Ron Russell. Throughout this time, we have not been perfect. However, we have increased achievement, increased attendance, and lowered discipline referrals. Along the way, I have learned so much from our community. Without question, I have been unbelievably honored to be principal of Ron Russell Middle School. By working together, we ensured success for your child and prepared them for high school and beyond.
GO TIMBERWOLVES!
Sincerely,
Andy Long
