Dual Language Elementary School Assistant Principal

Mount Vernon School District (MVSD) purposefully prepares every student for success by ensuring inclusion and belonging, providing high-quality instruction, and empowering learners with the skills and confidence to thrive in a diverse and dynamic world. This mission commits us to the success of each student and affirms our responsibility to create learning environments where all students—across every background, language, and identity—can belong, dream, and achieve.

To fulfill this purpose, we recognize the need to confront and transform inequitable systems, structures, and practices that have historically limited access and opportunity, particularly for students of color and other marginalized groups. Guided by our core values and the commitments outlined in the MVSD Strategic Plan, we strive to eliminate all forms of discrimination and inequity, ensuring that race, ethnicity, culture, language, or circumstance no longer predict student outcomes.

By centering equity, inclusion, and rigorous, culturally responsive learning, we hold ourselves collectively accountable for preparing every student to reach their highest potential and to thrive as empowered, capable, and future-ready graduates.

The Assistant Principal at Madison Elementary School supports the Principal in providing instructional, operational, and equity‑centered leadership within a dual language learning environment. This role plays a critical part in advancing the school’s Spanish‑English dual language program by supporting high‑quality instruction, bilingualism, biliteracy, and cultural competence for all students. The Assistant Principal collaborates closely with staff, students, families, and the broader community to foster a safe, inclusive, and engaging school climate grounded in respect for linguistic and cultural diversity.

Responsibilities include supporting instructional improvement and curriculum alignment in both languages, promoting data‑informed decision‑making, strengthening family and community partnerships, leading restorative and preventative student discipline practices, and ensuring compliance with district, state, and federal requirements. The Assistant Principal leads with an equity lens to close opportunity gaps and ensure that all students—particularly historically underserved learners—receive the instruction and support needed to thrive academically, socially, and emotionally.
