New Interim Principal of Sea Cliff School, Megan McCormack was welcomed with lots of hugs, high-fives and smiles as she greeted her students, faculty and staff on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
McCormack stated, “I was so humbled and honored to be greeting our Sea Cliff School (SCS) family on my first official day as the Interim Principal. The warm welcome in the classrooms, the smiles out at recess and the high-fives in the cafeteria were experiences that I will never forget.”
“We started the day with a quick school-wide movement break and the sun was shining for our first fire drill,” continued McCormack. “The kindergartners taught me sign language, in 1st grade we reflected on how we were feeling using the mood meter, 2nd graders were working on literacy, self-portraits were being made using description words in the 3rd grade, the 4th graders were working together before transitioning to specials and the 5th graders were solving Math problems!”
You could feel the enthusiasm and love at Sea Cliff School as McCormack stopped in each classroom and went outside for recess to see her K-5 students. Many students said, “This was the best day ever!”
When McCormack was appointed, Superintendent Dr. Chris Zublionis stated, “Ms. McCormack is a visionary who has led professional development for teachers on educational technology, interdisciplinary learning, outdoor learning and performance-based assessment on a district level.” He continued, “Ms. McCormack knows and is known by every student in Sea Cliff School. She possesses an innate ability to build positive relationships with parents and students as demonstrated by her work in the District.”
McCormack concluded by saying, “I can’t wait to continue and build upon the incredible SCS programs and collaborate as a team this year! I am so grateful to the students, faculty and staff, Central Office team, Board of Education and the Sea Cliff community.”
Congratulations to Interim Principal Ms. Megan McCormack and best of luck to all the children, faculty and staff in the new 2022-23 school year!
