Simsbury School Board Appoints Assistant Principal for Squadron Line

Margaret Seidel has been appointed to the position of assistant principal of Squadron Line Elementary School by the Simsbury Board of Education, according to a release from the school district.

Seidel was appointed at a meeting on June 28. She will replace current assistant principal, Scott P. Dunn, who was appointed principal of Spaulding Elementary School in Suffield.

Seidel has been an elementary classroom and special education teacher for more than 13 years, most recently in Avon. During that time, Seidel has run a laboratory site for Teacher’s College, co-taught in an inclusion classroom, and has served as the Language Arts Coordinator. 

Seidel received her Bachelor of Science and Master of Arts from the State University of New York College. She also holds her Certification in Educational Leadership from Sacred Heart University.   

“Mrs. Seidel has distinguished herself as an astute educator, knowledgeable about the teaching practices that lead to success for all children," said Simsbury’s superintendent, Matthew Curtis. "Her energy and enthusiasm are palpable, and we are excited she will be the next assistant principal of the Squadron Line School community. I am confident that her skills in working with our elementary students will be celebrated in Simsbury for years to come.”
