Welcome!

Dear Briarcrest Elementary Parents,

First of all, I would like to thank all of you for the opportunity to serve your children and your family by being principal of this campus. It is a wonderful blessing to me to be able to serve all of you and to serve a school that is as wonderful as Briarcrest Christian School. Your children are a blessing to me every day, and I think you for allowing me to be a part of their education.

One of my goals as principal is to strive continuously to explore new ways to enhance the educational experience of our students and our families. This year, you will see many new experiences for our students, along with all of the wonderful opportunities that our students have always had at Briarcrest. One area that I have chosen to focus on is communication with parents and students. This blog is one of the first steps that I have chosen to undertake in the realm of parent communication. The purpose of this blog and any blog is to create ongoing dialogue between myself and the parents of our students. Every few weeks, I will post a new article on the blog, and you as parents will have the opportunity to respond to the blog and share your thoughts. Remember, as you post your entry, all those checking the blog will be able to view your thoughts. I will try to offer a variety of thoughts ranging from education to parenting and everything in between. I hope that you will find this a useful tool, and something that will provide you with an enjoyable and intellectually stimulating experience. While our main business at Briarcrest is to educate our students, our goal is to challenge them to be lifelong learners. It is my hope that as I strive to be a lifelong learner, we as parents can share in the experience together. As a parent of a 4 month old, 2 year old, and 3 year old, I long for any tips I can gain from parents who have already traveled the road I am going down. Thank you for your time, and I hope you enjoy this new experience!

Dr. Williams
