Leadership

Making sure our student know how deeply we believe in them is the key to empower our students to intrinsically strive to greatness.

Welcome to Sunnymeadows Elementary School 2022-2023

It is an honor to work at Sunnymeadows and create a positive climate and culture with
students, staff, and families. Together we will form a community to ensure that all
Seahawks at Sunnymeadows are safe, responsible, and respectful. My goal as an assistant
principal is to develop our students into lifelong learners who welcome change and
adversity. Our students need to be able to accept and adjust to inconvenience and handle
the challenges within their personal and educational environment. A lifelong learner can
listen, learn, and teach other students. With these skills, our Seahawks can aim high and
overcome obstacles! Education is the backbone of every business. It creates a desire for
knowledge, to engineer a product that can lead to fulfilling a person’s pursuit of happiness.

As a Seahawk family, these are the following essentials to support your child’s academic
success:

1.  Make sure your Seahawk attends school every day, arrives at school on time, and is
   ready to participate and learn. Remember, every minute counts.
2. Be involved in your child’s academic day. Regularly communicate with your child’s
   teacher regarding his/her progress and or behavior.
3. Read to your Seahawk daily for 30 minutes, or have your child read to you. Ask your
   child what he/she read.

Hello, Sunnymeadows Community!

My name is Desiree Ratcliffe, and I serve as the Assistant Administrator of Instructional Improvement and Academic Coaching at Sunnymeadows. I am not only honored and privileged to be working with our hardworking staff, but I am also very excited to work at a place I call “home”. Interestingly, I attended Sunnymeadows as a child, and my mother also worked here for many years. I feel a true sense of responsibility to help ensure our students are receiving top notch, and research-based instruction daily from teachers who are well-trained and care about kids immensely. I enjoy my role in which I  assist, guide, train, and coach teachers to improve their professional practice as educators here at Sunnymeadows. I am always seeing our students learn how to be excellent students through the use of AVID strategies, and I enjoy modeling and employing those strategies with our awesome teaching staff.

Students’ Academic Achievement rests firmly at the core of all our school’s goals and plans. We look forward to celebrating student growth and achievement throughout the year! If you have any questions related to curriculum or instruction, or our online programs, please feel free to contact me anytime!

Thoughtfully,

Desiree Ratcliffe
