Our Principal
Hello Dan Mini families,
Welcome to the 2024–25 school year. I am Yvanna Wheeler, the proud principal of Dan Mini Elementary School. I look forward to serving our amazing school community's new and returning students and families.
I have been an educator for 25 years and am a mother of four. I understand that each child has their own educational journey. I appreciate the opportunity to share your child’s educational journey with you.
Our Dan Mini Team is looking forward to this new school year, and will continue to build on the success of the past. We also strive to implement research-based instructional practices and current procedural protocols to provide every student with the best experience.
Our goal is to create an environment where EVERY child meets or exceeds the academic standards that prepare our students to be college or career ready. To meet this goal, students are provided with a challenging curriculum and exceptional teachers and staff who are committed to the students' academic and social growth.
We continue our focus on the three expectations of all members of the Dan Mini community:
- Be Safe
- Be Respectful
- Be Responsible
Dan Mini is a PAX school. PAX means peace, productivity, health and happiness. We support our PAX Good Behavior Game program schoolwide and will provide opportunities for families to celebrate student accomplishments around PAX. We continue to focus on supporting the needs of the whole child; academically, socially, emotionally and physically. We strive to create a safe and engaging environment for all students.
Again, I welcome you to the upcoming school year and look forward to working with you. Have a great rest of the summer.
