Dear Students, Parents/Guardians, and Community Members,

¡Bienvenidos! Thank you for visiting the Oaklawn Language Academy webpage!

I’m excited to share the 2018-2019 school year and continue to work with the amazing students, staff, parents, and community of Oaklawn. I was thrilled to be announced as the proud principal of Oaklawn in March 2018. While I am not new to the Oaklawn Community, I am excited for this new role!

I received my B.A. in Elementary Education from the University of Iowa and began my career in Iowa teaching a wide range of grade levels. In 2005, teaching brought me to North Carolina where I taught for 10 years at Community Charter School before starting my journey in administration. After completing my M.S. in Educational Administration from Scranton University, I joined CMS as a facilitator at Newell Elementary for one and a half years. I then got the amazing opportunity to becoming the assistant principal at Oaklawn Language Academy in January 2016. Throughout my entire career, I have been committed to high achievement for Title I schools.

I am looking forward to an amazing year with the wonderful faculty and awesome students! It is my obligation to ensure that your child/children are learning in a safe, healthy, and happy environment. I believe that EVERY student can achieve and be successful! We can do this together through the wonderful support of our teachers, staff, and PTSA. I encourage all families to become involved in the Oaklawn Community any way they can and I look forward to our partnership this year!

-Kristi Trangsrud

Queridos estudiantes, padres/tutores y miembros de la comunidad.

¡Bienvenidos! ¡Gracias por visitar la página de Internet de la Academia de Lenguaje Oaklawn!

Estoy muy emocionada de compartir el año escolar 2018-2019 y seguir trabajando con increíbles estudiantes, personal de la escuela, padres de familia y la comunidad de Oaklawn. Estoy encantada de haber sido elegida como la directora de Oaklawn en Marzo del 2018. Aunque no soy nueva en la familia de Oaklawn, estoy emocionada con este nuevo cargo!

Recibí mi Licenciatura en Educación Primaria en la Universidad de Iowa y empezé mi carrera en el Estado de Iowa impartiendo clases en diferentes grados de primaria.

En el año 2005, la enseñanza me trajo a Carolina del Norte donde impartí clases por 10 años en una escuela Charter, (Community Charter School); antes de comenzar mi camino en Administración Educativa en la Universidad de Scranton. Empezé a formar parte de CMS (Escuelas del Condado de Mecklenburg) como facilitadora de la escuela primaria Newell por 1 año y medio. En Enero del 2016 obtuve el cargo como Asistente de Director de la Academia de Lenguaje Oaklawn. A lo largo de toda mi carrera, me he comprometido en obtener grandes logros de las escuelas Título I.

¡Estoy esperando un año increíble con la facultad y estudiantes maravillosos!. Es mi obligación asegurar el aprendizaje de sus niños en un ambiente seguro, saludable y feliz. Yo creo que cada estudiante puede triunfar y ser exitoso!; podemos hacer esto juntos con el apoyo maravilloso de nuestros maestros, personal y PTSA (Asociación de Padres y Maestros De La Escuela). ¡Motivo a todas las familias a involucrarse en la comunidad de Oaklawn a formar parte de nuestra sociedad este año!
