Dear Franklin Sherman Families,

 

As we approach the final months of the school year, I want to share some important staffing updates with you. Our region has requested that Mr. Ralston, our dedicated Assistant Principal, lend his expertise and support to another school within the district. While we will certainly miss Mr. Ralston’s presence and valuable contributions to our school community, we understand the importance of regional collaboration and are proud that he has been selected for this assignment. We extend our warmest wishes to Mr. Ralston as he embarks on this temporary role and thank him for his unwavering commitment to Franklin Sherman.

 

In Mr. Ralston's absence, I am delighted to announce that Ms. Stoermann, our current Advanced Academic Resource Teacher (AART), has graciously agreed to step into the role of Interim Assistant Principal. Ms. Stoermann joined the Franklin Sherman family in 2022 and has quickly become an integral part of our educational team. Her passion for student success and her collaborative spirit have been evident in her work with our teachers and students.

 

Ms. Stoermann brings a wealth of knowledge and experience to this new position. She holds a Master of Education in Leadership from George Mason University, which equips her with the skills and insights necessary to support our school community effectively. We are confident that her leadership will ensure a smooth transition and maintain the high standards of excellence we strive for at Franklin Sherman.

 

We are excited to welcome Ms. Stoermann into this new leadership role and know that she will continue to be a strong advocate for our students. Please join me in extending a warm welcome and offering your support as she takes on these new responsibilities.

 

If you have any questions or concerns regarding these staffing changes, please do not hesitate to reach out to me via email fsthomas@fcps.edu. We are committed to keeping you informed and ensuring a positive and seamless experience for all our students.

 

We are looking forward to a wonderful and successful conclusion to the school year. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.
