I would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to Lincoln and introduce myself. This is my third year as principal of Lincoln Elementary School. Lincoln has a reputation for excellence and I feel fortunate to be a part of a school culture focused on student learning. It is my intent as building principal to continue to build upon current practices through a commitment to high expectations, innovation, and collaboration. I look forward to seeing all of you throughout the school year and encourage you to visit the school and become an active player in your child’s education.

I would also like to share some information about my educational background and professional experience. After graduating from Lowell High School, I attended Indiana University Northwest. After receiving my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education, I was hired at Tri-Creek School Corporation where I taught for thirteen years. I have taught preschool, second grade, fourth grade, fifth grade, and I also hold a Kindergarten endorsement. I received my Master’s Degree in Educational Administration from Purdue University Calumet. I have extensive training in Balanced Literacy, Differentiated Instruction, and High Ability Education. I am passionate about education and hope to inspire others in the field of education.

Please check back in with our school's website from time to time. I believe it will be an effective way for parents to stay up to date on events happening within the school.

If, at anytime, you need to contact me with questions or concerns please call (219) 374-3600 or email me at bmuha@hanover.k12.in.us

Dear Families,

 

I am so proud to be joining the Lincoln Family this year as the assistant principal.  Prior to becoming an administrator, I taught in the School City of Hobart for 13 years.  All my life I wanted to work with children and help them grow and learn.  I spent many days as a young child playing school.  I, of course, was always the teacher.  Through my years of teaching, I have taught preschool, a second/third multiage class, first grade, and both half-day and full-day kindergarten.  One of my favorite parts of teaching was continually revising the curriculum in order to meet the students' needs.  I love that every year is a fresh start, and no day is ever the same as the day before.  The world of education is never boring! 

 

I grew up in Crown Point, where I also currently live with my husband and two daughters.  I graduated from Crown Point High School.  I attended Purdue University Calumet and received an Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Development and a Bachelor's Degree in Elementary Education, with a Kindergarten Endorsement.  I also hold a Master's Degree in Educational Administration. 

 

I want the very best for the Lincoln students.  I believe that all children can achieve success with appropriate support - and should always feel successful as they learn and grow.  I look forward to working together with the Lincoln families and students.  Please let me know how I can help you at any time.  You may contact me at 374-3600, ext 3631.  I look forward to hearing from you. 

 

 

Sincerely,

 

Melissa Walley
