Samuelson Family Update

Dear Samuelson families,

I wanted to share an update about Samuelson Elementary school leadership.  Principal Benjamin LaConner is taking some leave to focus on personal matters, and we hope to see him back at Samuelson in the near future.  In the meantime, Associate Principal Amy Wiegmann has seamlessly stepped into the role of Interim Principal.  Mrs. Wiegmann is in her ninth year as Samuelson’s associate principal and is a trusted school leader.

While we cannot share personal information about employees of the district, if you have any questions or need assistance in other areas, please reach out to Mrs. Wiegmann or me directly.

We look forward to finishing 2024 with joy and excitement for the new year ahead!
