Introducing Mrs. Elbert, Kuehnle's New Principal
Dear Kuehnle Community,
I am honored to introduce myself as the new principal of Kuehnle Elementary and become a member of this wonderful school community. Although I am new to Kuehnle, I have spent my entire professional career as part of the Klein Family. I have served as a teacher, literacy specialist, and assistant principal at Hassler, Fox, and Northampton Elementary.
I am grateful to take my experience as an educator and share it with the students, families, and staff as your Kuehnle principal. As a student-focused leader, I believe in working together for the greater good of our learners and ensuring excellent learning experiences for every student.
Kuehnle has a tradition of excellence in academics and so much more, and I look forward to collaborating with you, our wonderful staff, and our entire school community to continue building success upon our strong foundation. Together, we will inspire our students to be lifelong learners and continue to build a culture that is based on positive relationships and collaboration.
I am so thankful for your support as we work together to develop the promise in every student as they find their purpose. I am thrilled about everything that we are going to achieve together and am eager to meet you and all of our Kuehnle Koalas!
Sincerely,
Jennifer Elbert
Kuehnle Elementary Principal
Introducing Mrs. Siddoway, Kuehnle's New Assistant Principal
Dear Kuehnle Elementary Family,
I am beyond excited to be serving the students, staff, and families of Kuehnle Elementary as the assistant principal. I am committed to supporting a positive culture at Kuehnle Elementary alongside Mrs. Elbert where every student is celebrated for their greatness and supported as they grow.
18 years ago, I began the exciting career of teaching in Atlanta, Georgia and then made my way back home to Klein, Texas. Throughout my career, I have served as teacher, math specialist and assistant principal at Benignus Elementary, Greenwood Forest Elementary, and Schindewolf Intermediate. Throughout my career in education, I have led with passion, remained student-focused, and have stayed committed to serving others.
I’m looking forward to partnering with you as we support your child in achieving their purpose. To our Kuehnle students, I cannot wait to meet each of you and to see all that you achieve.
Please know that my door is always open, and feel free to contact me anytime through email at jsiddoway1@kleinisd.net.
Respectfully,
Julie Siddoway
