(For immediate release: Greenwich, CT – Thursday, August 6, 2009) Cos Cob School Assistant Principal Mary Rose Dymond has accepted a position as Principal of Huckleberry Hill Elementary School, one of the Brookfield Public Schools, effective with the start of the school year.
Ms. Dymond has been the Assistant Principal at Cos Cob School since 2006 and over the last three years has been responsible for providing professional development for staff on numerous instructional strategies and practices. She has guided the staff in implementing the School Improvement Plan and has collaborated with and assisted Principal Kimberly Beck on executing whole school reform initiatives encompassing Social/Emotional Learning, Instructional Data Teams, and 21st Century Skills development.
Kimberly Beck said, “Mary Rose Dymond is one of the most intelligent, hard working, and dedicated professionals I have ever had the privilege to know. Throughout her tenure as an assistant principal, Mary Rose’s advocacy for the children, families, and staff of Cos Cob Elementary School has been exemplary. We have been working together as the administrative team for the past two years. Consequently, it is with a great sense of loss that we wish her well in her new position. "
Prior to her appointment at Cos Cob School, Ms. Dymond served as Interim Assistant Principal at North Street School for part of the 2005-2006 school year. As a teacher with Hamilton Avenue School (HAS) from 2001 to 2006, she also held leadership positions, including Director of the HAS Academy of Learners and Administrative Intern.
Ms. Dymond developed and implemented the Academy of Learners program at HAS, an after-school program designed to boost student achievement. As an administrative intern, she chaired the Hamilton Avenue Modular Construction/Transition Committee in 2004-05, working with building administrators to oversee the move from the old Hamilton Avenue School building to the new modular classroom on the grounds of Western Middle School in the spring of 2004.
In her eight years as a member of the Greenwich Public Schools staff, Ms. Dymond has demonstrated a commitment to advancing professional/instructional practices and strategies in the service of improving achievement for all students. As a Learning Facilitator and a curriculum and assessment developer; a member of the Schools for Tools Team, Closing the Achievement Gap Committee, and RISE Task Force; and as a Peer Mediation Advisor, BEST Mentor Teacher, and an Early Intervention Project trainer, Ms. Dymond has made valuable contributions toward achieving the goals of the District.
Ms. Dymond began her teaching career in 2000 as a Music Specialist in New Britain, Connecticut. She joined the Greenwich Public Schools in 2001 and, in addition to her roles at Hamilton Avenue, North Street and Cos Cob Schools, she taught instrumental music at the International School at Dundee.
Ms. Dymond received her Bachelor of Music degree from Wilkes University in Wilkes-Barre Pennsylvania in 1998; her Master of Music degree from the Hartt School of Music, University of Hartford in West Hartford, Connecticut in 2001, and her Sixth Year Diploma in Educational Administration from the University of Connecticut in Storrs, Connecticut in 2006.
