As we wave goodbye to another school year, I write  to celebrate the remarkable journey we have had this year. This year has presented challenges and opportunities, which we have navigated together with a spirit of collaboration. Our students have impressed us all, not only by excelling in academics, but also by shining on stages, in art studios, and on sports fields. They have shown talent in leadership, civic engagement, and community service, demonstrating a well-rounded spirit and drive  to contribute  and impact the Belmont community.  See full blog post for June 14, 2024

Last week, the Belmont community graciously endorsed the fiscal override, ushering in essential funds for the Town. This decision was not made lightly: The override brings much-needed revenue to sustain Belmont’s services, at the same time it imposes a financial impact on residents. In light of this, I wish to express my deepest gratitude to the community for providing the opportunity to invest in our schools in order for us to continue delivering exceptional education for our children.

There is a wide array of classes, like this one, that provide students opportunities to learn disciplines in new and unique ways. For example, Social Justice by the Numbers is an interdisciplinary cou... See full blog post for March 8, 2024

This weekend brings Veterans Day, when we honor the men and women who have served in the United States Armed Forces with their dedication and courage. I had the honor this past week of commemorating this day with the Veterans of Foreign Wars of the Belmont Chapter at Butler, Burbank, and BMS, including a luncheon where we came together in appreciation of our veterans. I would like to express my gratitude to the VFW for the opportunity to share in that event and to our veterans for their service ...

We are over a month into the school year with teaching and learning well under way. Over the past weeks, I have been visiting schools and going to curriculum nights and athletic events where I have been able to see our staff and students in action.
