Principal's Message

Hello DES Families,

I hope you have all had a wonderful summer and are getting excited for another year of learning

and growing at Danbury Elementary School. It is my first year at DES and I am very excited to be part

of this community. I have been in education for over 20 years, with 12 years teaching experience before

moving to administration. Before joining the Newfound School District I was a Head of School at

Seacoast Charter School in Dover and have worked as an administrator internationally and in other New

Hampshire schools. I look forward to meeting you all and a wonderful school year ahead.

Save the Dates:

Kindergarten Open House- August 30th from 5:00-6:00 PM. During this time students and families

will explore the Kindergarten classroom, meet their teacher and ask any questions.

All school supplies are readily available for your child(ren) here at DES. If you have specific

questions about supplies please contact your child’s teacher. During the first week of school students will

bring home paperwork for families to fill out. Please make sure to fill out all paperwork to ensure that

we have all the correct information.

We cannot wait to see everyone soon! Enjoy the rest of your summer and please call or reach out
