Principal's Message

Dear Americana Families,

Welcome to the 2024-2025 School Year! As the Principal of Americana Elementary School, I am looking forward to working with you and your children. This is my 19th year here in Queen Bee School District and I have enjoyed every minute of serving this community. I would like to welcome our new Assistant Principal, Ms. Jennifer Napravnik, this is her 14th year in education and she is very happy to be here at Americana with us. Both of us are looking forward to a great school year and please do not hesitate to reach out to either one of us should you need something.

At Americana, our staff is committed to providing a nurturing environment for all our students, in partnership with our families and the community. We provide our students with access to educational opportunities that include a research-based curriculum with authentic literature and texts. A daily social-emotional curriculum helps our students become effective communicators and independent problem solvers. Americana students are exposed to a framework of growth mindset in order to assist them with academic stamina and perseverance. Our teachers differentiate learning in order to meet the diverse needs of our students, and challenge them to become their best selves on a daily basis.

We value consistent communication with parents and our community, and look forward to our next opportunity to partner or speak with you to ensure that your child has the most successful year possible. As Principal, I welcome your input and value our partnership so please feel free to contact me.
