Dear SPE,
Welcome to Sunny Pointe Elementary School! If you are new to the SPE family, welcome! I think you hit the jackpot by moving to SPE. Our school is a pretty special place. If you are a returning family, welcome back!
Getting the opportunity to work with you and your child is a great honor. I have been fortunate to work in education and in the Blue Springs School District for 16 years.
I received my degree in Elementary Education from the University of Missouri in Columbia, Missouri. I completed my Master's Degree in Curriculum and Instruction through the University of Missouri's Teaching Fellowship Program. I completed my Specialist Degree in Elementary Administration from the University of Central Missouri's Collaborative Principals Preparation Program.
I am very proud to work in the Blue Springs School District. Sunny Pointe has always been my home away from home. I was hired in 2004 while I was a University of Missouri Teaching Fellow and taught 5th grade. I then taught 3rd grade at SPE for another 6 years. After leaving the classroom, I was fortunate to work as an administrative intern and assistant principal at Franklin Smith Elementary and James Walker Elementary. I was lucky to return to SPE as the assistant principal for the next 4 years and served as an assistant principal at PKMS for 1 year. It was a true honor to become the principal of SPE in the fall of 2018.
Outside of school, you will find me spending time with my family. My husband and I are proud parents of two children in the Blue Springs School District.
The SPE staff is looking forward to another memorable and successful year! SPE provides an inviting atmosphere and our goal is that every child, parent, and staff member feel like they belong at SPE. We want everyone to feel like SPE is their home away from home. We are committed to preparing your child for a successful educational career beyond the doors of SPE.
We are a team, so please reach out if you have any questions or ideas to make our school the absolute best. Our primary goal is to provide your child with the opportunities and experiences that are essential to educational success in elementary school and beyond.
Thank you for your support,
Mrs. Cassie Gengelbach
Principal
