Next time you see Mr. Siles be sure to tell
him Thanks for the cool Everglades mural on our school's front wall. That is
right folks, we have an artist extraordinaire as our assistant principal, Mr.
Siles is the solo artist who on his own time came out during the summer to paint
that great mural. |

As the newest addition to the administrative team I want to share with
the Glades Middle School community (students, teachers, parents and
neighbors) some of my impressions and working goals. In the little time
I’ve been here I’ve observed that there are many factors that contribute
to Glades Middle being an outstanding school, but most of all I am
impressed with the “pursuit of excellence” that is shared by all
that are associated with this school. My main goal is to learn from all
of you what has made Glades Middle the high achieving school that it is
and build on that. As an Assistant Principal I will lead by example and
set high expectations for myself, students, teachers and parents to
further our achievements.
I
look forward to working together and supporting you in the work ahead of
us.

An Artist, and an
Administrator
It is with great pleasure that I
welcome all students, faculty, staff, and parents back to our school for
this 2007 – 2008 school year. I also take this opportunity to
congratulate those of you that worked so diligently last year. It is
because of your continuous dedication and commitment that our school
continues to be one of the most successful middle schools in the
district.
In addition to being an
instructional leader, I will be supervising school-wide discipline,
English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL), building maintenance,
security, custodial, activities, fine arts, and sports. We have an
excellent team of qualified individuals in each of these areas ensuring
that every stakeholder is given every opportunity to succeed and enjoy
an atmosphere that is safe, clean, and conducive to teaching and
learning.
We had a wonderful year last year. I
am confident that with the continuous support and dedication from
students, faculty, staff, and parents, this year will be even more
successful.
Thank you for all you do at
Glades! Go Gators!
