Mrs. Kerri Edwards
My name is
Kerri Edwards and I am honored to be your child’s Principal for the 2019-2020
school year. I am going into my 19th
year in education. I was a Special
education teacher and Special Education Process Coordinator before going into
Administration here in the district. I was an Administrative Intern for 2 years,
3 years as an Assistant principal, one of those years here at William Yates. This will be my 3rd year at
WYE! On a personal note, I have been
married to my wonderful husband for 18 years and we have 2 awesome kids. Ellyse is 15 and heading into her Sophomore
year at Blue Springs South High School and Evan who turned 9 this summer is
going to be a Fourth grader at Chapel Lakes Elementary. On any given night you
will find us on a ball field somewhere in the metro. They are both very active in sports which
keeps us very active as well.
I cannot
wait to meet your child and watch him/her change and grow and learn. Thank you
for the opportunity to be a part of your child's life. My philosophy is open communication. Please contact me whenever you have a
question or concern. I will do the same
for you. Everyone’s input is important as we work together to create a school
where all students can be successful. As a parent or guardian, your interest
and involvement with your child’s education will promote a positive attitude
toward learning and academic achievement. We have several tools to keep you
updated throughout the year including monthly emails, teacher newsletters and
our school website along with twitter.
Thank you to
all who are helping prepare for the new school year. Your commitment to
ensuring that WYE remains a celebrated and successful school is awe-inspiring.
I eagerly look forward to greeting students and all WYE families again. It
remains an honor and privilege to serve as your principal. Please stop by
and say hello. Together, I know we will make this school year one of growth and
achievement for all children.
All signs point to another incredible school
year!
