Our Family Ambassador for the 2022-2023 school year, for the fifth school season is Gina Shimer. The goal of Family Ambassador is to act as a liaison between the families of Binns Elementary and the school and staff as well as our district and Region 1. We are hopeful that this year we will be able to provide a more normal school environment without mask and social distancing. Stay tuned for upcoming events and activities and useful information as the district directs us

When family involvement takes place student success happens!

A letter from Gina Shimer:

Hello to all of you! I look forward to another wonderful year with each of our families. This year I am hopeful to provide a more normal year with family engagement activities and more family presence in the school. I am excited for the opportunity to assist you and help you and we journey together. Our goal as a school is to plan activities that allow you to see into the daily life of your student and engage with them and learn tips, tools and strategies to implement at home to continue the learning process. I look forward to meeting new families and seeing our returning families. You make my job and this school the BEST!!

Please always remember that I am here to help in any way that I can. I have 2 students at Binns (4th and 5th grade) and 1 at Wedgewood (7th grade) so I am in it with you! I understand what you are experiencing and feeling and the questions you may have. So know I am always here for YOU and YOUR student!! Reach out if you need anything and do not hesitate to contact me at anytime. I am excited for this year and know that with your support our students will rise up and succeed! I can not wait to see their success and our success as families!

Here's to another AWESOME year!!

Much love,

Gina Shimer
