WELCOME Mrs. Laura Routé - Assistant Principal
I am thrilled to extend my warmest greetings as the new Assistant Principal of Prospect Elementary. It is with great excitement and anticipation that I join this remarkable school community, and I am truly honored to have the opportunity to work alongside each and every one of you.
First and foremost, I want to express my genuine eagerness to meet all of you. I believe that a strong and cohesive team is the cornerstone of success, and I am looking forward to forging meaningful connections with all of you. Your dedication, expertise, and passion for education are the driving forces behind our students' achievements, and I am humbled to be a part of an already wonderful team.
A bit about me! I grew up in Rochester, NY and have enjoyed growing my educational journey for the past 12 years across three states where I’ve served in general education, special education, gifted and talented development, compliance facilitation, and as principal intern. I’ve focused on instructor development, differentiation of assessments and classwork, MTSS creation and refinement, and provided exceptional children mandates for state regulations. I enjoy hiking and skiing and currently live in Ellicottville with my husband, Peter and our pug, Louie!
I am equally enthusiastic about engaging with the broader community of Prospect Elementary. Together, we will encourage an inclusive and nurturing environment that supports the growth and development of every student. I firmly believe that collaboration between school and community plays a pivotal role in shaping the educational experience, and I am eager to build strong partnerships with parents, guardians, and community members to ensure our students' success.
As we embark on this new academic year, let us embrace the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead. With a shared commitment to excellence, innovation, and fostering a love for learning, I am confident that we will have a healthy and progressive year together. I am committed to providing support, guidance, and encouragement to both staff and students, as we work collaboratively towards our common goals.
I am genuinely delighted to be a part of the Prospect Elementary family, and I am eagerly counting down the days until I can meet you all in person.
Here's to a fantastic year ahead!
