Beebe School K-8: Dr. Kari-Ann Murphy, Principal
Hello to Beebe School families! I am very excited to have been selected as your new principal.
I come to the Beebe with more than thirteen years of experience as an educator. I have worked with a variety of students ranging from first through eighth grade. I began my teaching career as an elementary teacher in the Malden Public Schools. After leaving Malden, I spent eight years with Chelsea public schools. In Chelsea, I served as a middle school science teacher, a school and district coach, a professional development provider as well as a content and curriculum lead. My most recent position has been as an assistant principal in Winthrop at Cummings Elementary School.
Two years ago, I completed my doctorate with a dissertation focus on middle school engagement. This past year, I also became a trauma-certified educator through the National Institute for Trauma and Loss in Children. I am looking forward to working with teachers and staff to provide all students with opportunities that challenge them to grow while building a love of learning. I believe all students deserve authentic learning experiences, grounded in a rigorous standards-based curriculum carried out in a culture of kindness, collaboration, and respect.
Ferryway School K-8: Mr. Michael Ciampa, Principal
“Our mission is to provide a safe and secure learning environment where students are able to work towards reaching their maximum potential.”
Welcome to the Ferryway School!
Our school’s core values are empathy, perseverance, responsibility, respect, and motivation. They guide our students and educators to approach teaching and learning with determination and joy. Our students always come first to us. They are our raison d’être. We believe that every one of our students can and will learn. We teach them to take academic risks and to not give up when they do not get it right the first try. Our school is a living example of what hard work, love for education, and strong teacher leadership do for student achievement every day.
If you are a parent/guardian, please come in, say hi, and learn about the many ways you can assist us in our mission. If you are a neighbor, please know that we want to work with you to make our community stronger and to continue to create a space where our students can thrive emotionally, academically, and physically.
Forestdale School K-8: Mr. Donald Concannon, Principal
I would like to welcome all our Forestdale families back to school. I am very excited to be your principal for the third year at the Forestdale School, and it is my hope that as the year progresses you will get to know your child’s teacher staff, the programs and the policies we offer at the Forestdale School. It is the goal of all our staff at the Forestdale to work with you to create a rich learning environment for all students. Student success is a shared responsibility between the school teachers, staff, students and parents. I hope as parents/guardians that you will partner with us and become active participants in your child’s education. Education is a joint venture between school and home. As we work with our students to help them learn about the world around them through the prescribed curriculum, we very much appreciate the support that parents/guardians give their children at home as they strive to reach their learning goals. Here at the Forestdale School we value the whole child, we look to nurture success socially emotionally and academically through our partnership with families. The foundation of a successful school is the cooperation between the students, staff, parents and community. Parents are a vital part of the Forestdale School Community. Your contributions are invaluable to the school through volunteer time and support of school activities. We look forward to working with you and developing a relationship that will assist in the growth of your child/children.
