Welcome to our New Asst. Superintendent!
Dear Orchard View Community, Staff, and Students, July 5, 2023
I am happy to introduce and welcome Mr. Tom Hamilton back as the newest member of our Orchard View Administrative Team. Mr. Hamilton was formerly the principal at Orchard View Early Elementary and has recently joined us as Assistant Superintendent in charge of curriculum, State and Federal Grants, and assessment. I couldn't be more excited to have him on board once again.
As a dedicated educational leader with a wealth of experience, Mr. Hamilton brings a deep understanding of curriculum and a passion for creating meaningful and joyful learning experiences for students. His expertise and commitment to academic excellence make him an invaluable addition to our team and the ideal candidate to assume the responsibilities of the position. He will take over the responsibilities of outgoing Assistant Superintendent Simeon Frang who recently accepted a position in a neighboring district. We are extremely fortunate and thankful that Mr. Frang will be working closely with Mr. Hamilton to create a transition that we expect to be as seamless as possible this summer.
In his role as Assistant Superintendent, Mr. Hamilton will play a crucial part in shaping the educational journey of our students. He will work closely with our leadership team and our talented educators to support a comprehensive and engaging curriculum that caters to the needs of Orchard View Students. With Mr. Hamilton's guidance, we are confident that our curriculum will evolve to meet these goals and go well beyond, providing our students with the knowledge, skills, and competencies necessary to succeed in an ever-changing world.
Mr. Hamilton's leadership and collaborative spirit will undoubtedly benefit our entire Orchard View community. His dedication to building strong relationships with teachers, parents, and community members will continue to strengthen our bonds and enable us to work together in nurturing our students' growth and development. Although his office will be located in the Orchard View Central Office, you will undoubtedly see him out and about in all buildings, during the school day, at athletic events and other community events this Fall and throughout the school year.
I encourage you to join me in extending a warm welcome to Mr. Hamilton and take the opportunity to get to know him better as he re-acquaints himself with our community. We believe that with your support and partnership, we can create an educational environment that fosters innovation, inclusivity, and excellence not only today but for years to come.
Please join me in welcoming Mr. Tom Hamilton to Orchard View Schools. We are excited about the positive impact he will make and the positive opportunities he will create for our students.
Jim Nielsen, Superintendent
It’s A Great Day to be a Cardinal!
