Six to Six Assistant Principal Emma Balter

“Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.”
(William Butler Yeats)

 

As one of the administrators at Six to Six, my goal is to ignite a love of learning in every student.   As a community we strive to foster meaningful relationships and build a safe, supportive environment that develops life-long learners who care and think deeply about their world.

In our school, students have access to an engaging and differentiated instructional program.  Our staff collaborates to ensure all children can successfully meet the expectations of the curriculum and can achieve to their fullest potential.  We must prepare each student not simply with the basic skills they need to be successful, productive citizens, but we must also spark a true thirst for knowledge in their minds.  With a solid foundation built during students’ years at Six to Six, it is our greatest hope that this spark will burn throughout their lifetime.

We also strive to foster deep and caring relationships with our students, their families and our greater community.  I make it a point to visit all classrooms every week, am a consistent part of greeting families during arrival and dismissal, and enjoy truly getting to know each student. With a focus on social emotional learning, we are able to cultivate the positive school climate we all have the fortunate opportunity to share. 

Please contact me anytime to chat about school, your student(s) or just to say hello.  My door is always open.
