Hello KES Families,
My name is Missy Godina and I am the new principal at KES. My career includes roles as an intervention specialist teacher, elementary school principal, high school assistant principal, instructional coach, and special education coordinator at Euclid City Schools and Cleveland Metropolitan School District. Safety is my number one priority and I am committed to collaborating with students, staff, and families to foster the minds of Kirtland's youngest learners. I am a strong instructional leader who has led various professional development initiatives, including our school's newly adopted CKLA reading program. I look forward to us working together and getting to know each other during the upcoming school year. I will be available in Hornet Hall during the school’s Ice Cream Social on August 14th at 5 pm. If you have questions, please let me know.
Sincerely,
Missy Godina
Kirtland Elementary Principal
