Leona Principal

Dear Parents, Guardians, and Students,

Welcome to Leona Middle School! I am excited to start my 6th year here at Leona as the principal. I am honored to be the principal here at Leona where our great students, parents, and staff have created such a positive learning environment. This is a great school filled with positive, hard working, and caring teachers who want only the best for your children. It is no wonder so many of our students come here from other districts to receive their education.

Along with the teachers and staff, I will work hard to keep the lines of communication open and make sure your child receives the best education possible. I also hope to maintain the many positive relationships I have created over the past 5 years with our parents and community. I need all parents to be involved in all parts of their child’s education especially during the present pandemic.  We know that there will be many obstacles and trials that will come our way this year due to the pandemic, but I know with your support we will overcome them. There will likely be times during the year we are learning at home and your child will need your guidance and support even more. Parental support is a must to make sure our students reach their full potential. We will continue to use a rigorous curriculum, character education, and positive behavior supports to create a positive learning environment here at school. We never want to settle for the status quo, but to strive to be the best school in the state.

All of us here at Leona Middle School are excited to begin this new 2020 school year and make it the best ever for you and your child. This year will bring new academic experiences for our students that will broaden their minds and help them build connections to real- world challenges and solutions. As your principal, I will do all I can to create an atmosphere where ALL students, staff, and parents are excited to be a part of Leona Middle School. This positive learning environment will allow us to meet the challenges of academic excellence that is expected in our world today. My door is always open and I welcome any helpful input from parents. I am not perfect, but I will promise you I will do everything in my power to make your child’s experience here at Leona a positive one. Please feel free to call me at 740-676-9220 or email me at kevin.roseberry@shadysidelocal.org to discuss any concerns you might have throughout the school year.

I look forward to working with you during the school year to help your child be the best that they can be in a great learning environment. 

Sincerely,

Mr. Kevin Roseberry

Proud Leona Principal
