Hello,
My name is Beth Parker and I am the principal of Woodbury Elementary School and the Principal/Director of Lakeview Early Education Center. I am very excited to begin my second year as part of the Mountain View team.
This is my 25th year in education, 20 of them at East Montpelier Elementary School. My background includes classroom teaching, intervention, professional development coach, instructional coach, and instructor for the Master’s in Education program through Southern New Hampshire University. These experiences have taught me the value of relationship building, finding joy in every day, creating belonging for all, and meeting students where they are.
I was drawn to the Mountain View Union ESD because of the deep commitment to community-based learning, outdoor education, and success for all students! I will strive to honor all the greatness that makes our communities who they are, and build on these strengths. I promise to partner with staff, families, and communities to build our schools to be the strongest, and most robust they can be.
My family has lived in East Montpelier for 28 years. My husband and I are empty nesters, raising two active dogs and one cat. My son and his wife live in East Montpelier too, and are expecting their first child in September. My daughter just finished her second year of teaching. She and her partner live in Montpelier. We are fortunate to spend much of the summer at our cottage on Greenwood Lake in Woodbury.
