Dear Families of Charlotte Avenue:

As the new Principal of Charlotte Avenue Elementary School, it is my sincere pleasure and honor to become a member of this great school community. Charlotte Avenue enjoys a rich history of academic and cultural excellence that is the result of an active partnership between the school staff and parents who provide a diversity of experiences for the students. I am truly honored to be appointed to this position and am looking forward to working with the entire school community to provide the best possible educational program for our students.

Before coming to the Hamburg Central School District, I held several administrative roles in the Eden Central School District:  Principal of Grover L. Priess Elementary, the Director of Home School Instruction and the Director of Enrollment Kindergarten- 12th Grade. Previous to Eden, I was in Fredonia as the Wheelock Primary Principal and Universal Pre-K Director. I began my educational career as a Special Education teacher in the Frontier Central School District. I developed a passion and foundational belief that all students can learn and achieve, provided the support and tools necessary. I commit to you and the outstanding faculty and staff at Charlotte Avenue to provide your child (ren) with the very best education to meet their individual needs. Parents, teachers, support staff, and administration all have an important role to encourage our children to become engaged learners. I am looking forward to working with you as we prepare all students to be successful in an ever changing global market.

It is my goal to spend my first several months learning about our school and all of its stakeholders.  I eagerly anticipate getting to know the Charlotte Avenue School community, and learning about your hopes and dreams for our school.  What is important to you about Charlotte Avenue?  What do you hope for? What are we proud of? What do we want to work on? 

            I look forward to partnering with everyone associated with Charlotte Avenue. I am confident we can make our school an even a better place for our students to learn and grow in a safe, respectful environment. Please feel free to contact me at any time with any questions, concerns, or just to introduce yourself.

Educationally Yours,

Ms. Danielle Grimm

Principal
