Dear Redwood Shores Elementary Community,
I am very excited to write you with an announcement regarding the next principal of Redwood Shores Elementary (RWSE).
At the May 17 board meeting, I will recommend that the Board of Trustees hire Karrie Amsler to be the RWSE Principal beginning July 1, 2018. Ms. Amsler is an experienced teacher and administrator who has been on staff at the San Carlos Charter Learning Center (a K-8 public school) for the last 14 years. Most recently, Ms. Amsler has been the Assistant Director and head of special education at San Carlos Charter. Prior to that, she gained a wealth of experience working with non-profits, coaching sports, and studying abroad. Ms. Amsler lives in San Mateo with her ten-year-old identical twin daughters, husband, and their dog Max. When not working, she enjoys reading, going for runs, and eating good food with friends. We welcome Ms. Amsler into the Belmont-Redwood Shores community, and we are excited about RWSE’s tremendous potential under her leadership!
Looking ahead, Ms. Cahoon will arrange for a time for Ms. Amsler to visit RWSE and meet the school community. Also, we will introduce Ms. Amsler in person to the Board at the June 7 board meeting.
Sincerely,
Michael Milliken
Superintendent
