I am thrilled and honored to be the principal at Weatherbee Elementary.  For me, Weatherbee is like coming home because I grew up literally down the street and watched the school being built as a child.  Weatherbee is a true community school, grounded in family values and traditions.  With over 20 years in education as a teacher and leader, I look forward to continuing to grow here with our amazing faculty, staff and students.  I look forward to leading a school community built on respect, curiosity, and a deep commitment to learning.  Our dedicated staff works closely with families to create a safe, supportive environment where students can thrive academically, socially and emotionally.  Together, we are laying the foundation for lifelong learning and success.   I am excited to begin this journey and look forward to all of the great things we will achieve together!
Warmly,
Heather Ricksecker
