Dear Tappahannock Elementary School Community,

Hello! I'm Dr. Tracie Daniels, and I am honored to serve as your new principal at Tappahannock Elementary School. As I join this wonderful community, I'm eager to build relationships with our students, families, teachers, and community members.

With over 25 years in education, my journey began as a preschool teacher, and I've since had the privilege of teaching first, third, and fourth grades. My experiences as both a teacher and administrator have strengthened my belief that every child can succeed when supported by caring educators and engaged families.

Throughout my career in Virginia schools, from Louisa County to Charlottesville and Henrico County, I've remained passionate about one thing: helping every student reach their full potential. I believe in creating a positive learning environment where students feel safe, supported, and excited to learn.

I hold a PhD in K-12 Educational Leadership, with a special focus on elementary reading instruction. As your principal, I am committed to fostering strong partnerships between our school and families, maintaining high academic standards, and ensuring that every child at Tappahannock Elementary feels valued and inspired to learn.

I look forward to meeting each of you and working together to make our school an even more amazing place for our children to learn and grow.

Warmly,

Dr. Tracie Daniels

Principal

Tappahannock Elementary School
