Newton-Conover City Schools is pleased to announce that Mrs. Tabetha Reynolds has been chosen as the new Assistant Principal - Behavior Interventionist at South Newton Elementary School. Mrs. Reynolds is in her 14th year of teaching with five of those years being in the Newton-Conover City Schools system. Prior to coming to South Newton Elementary, Mrs. Reynolds had also served as a Curriculum Specialist, Assistant Principal, and Principal at Tuttle Elementary, Challenger Early College High School, and Clyde Campbell Elementary, respectively.
Mrs. Reynolds earned her B.S. in Elementary Education from the University of North Carolina in Greensboro. And, then while working full-time, she earned her Masters degree in Education followed by an add-on licensure in school administration from Appalachian State University. While at South Newton Elementary School, she has taught 2nd and 3rd grade, and she achieved her National Board Certification while with Newton-Conover City Schools. She currently serves as the third-grade team leader, and she has become very knowledgeable about Read to Achieve assessments and the upper elementary curriculum. Furthermore, she serves as one of the PBIS (Positive Behavior Intervention and Support) Action Team leaders for SNES.
She is excited to be able to continue to build relationships with students, staff, parents, and community members in this new leadership role within the school community. Mrs. Moseley, principal, highlights her dedication to South Newton Elementary over the last five years through remote learning instruction and two years of high turnover rates for teachers. “Mrs. Reynolds has faithfully remained at South Newton Elementary and worked to build strong relationships with some of our students who have been the hardest to reach. She has experience with the implementation of a variety of behavior intervention plans, and working with students as they transition from the SNES SOAR Room to the classroom.”
Mrs. Reynolds is married to Chris Reynolds and they have two sons, Brennan and Kason, both of whom currently attend South Newton Elementary School.
Quote: “I am thrilled to continue at South Newton in this new role as assistant principal. I am passionate about continuing to build relationships with our amazing students, their families, and the community while working alongside the dedicated staff at South Newton as we strive to support our students and inspire them to be lifelong learners.”
