HI, I'M AMBER BAYSEN, AND IT IS MY PLEASURE TO SERVE AS YOUR ASSISTANT PRINCIPAL. I BELIEVE EVERY CHILD WHO WALKS THORUGH OUR DOORS DESERVES TO FEEL SAFE, SEEN, AND SUPPORTED BEFORE WE EVER ASK THEM TO SOLVE A PROBLEM OR OPEN A BOOK. A CHILD WHO MAY BE HUNGRY, HURTING, OR WORRIED MAY STRUGGLE TO LEARN. THEREFORE, I AM COMMITTED TO MEETING STUDENTS AND THEIR FAMILIES WEHRE THEY ARE AND DEVELOPING SOLUTIONS TO MEET THE NEEDS OF THE WHOLE CHILD. WE BUILD RELATIONSHIPS BEFORE WE TEACH LESSONS, BECAUSE THAT IS HOW CHILDREN GROW. 

I HOLD THAT SAME COMMITMENT TO OUR TEACHERS. I INVEST IN THEIR GROWTH EVERY SINGLE DAY, SO THAT EVERY CHILD -- NO MATTER WHERE THEY BEGIN -- CAN REACH THE FULLEST POTENTIAL THAT IS UNIQUELY THEIRS. 

THIS IS WHAT IT MEANS TO SHIFT MINDSETS AND BUILD LEGACIES. THIS IS HOW WE AMPLIFY THE CULTURE -- WITH THE DAILY WORK OF LOVING CHILDREN WELL AND TEACHING THEM FIERCELY. 

D.F. HUDDLE IS MORE THAN A BUILDING. IT IS A FAMILY, AND HERE, YOU ARE NOT A VISITOR -- YOU BELONG. WELCOME TO THE FALCON'S NEST!

WITH PURPOSE AND PRIDE, 

AMBER BAYSDEN, M.ED., M.A.T.
