Principal's Message

Dear Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts Community,
 
I hope this letter finds you well. My name is Dr. Willayie Saygbe and it is with great enthusiasm and a profound sense of responsibility that I write to introduce myself as the new principal of Urban Assembly School for the Performing Arts (UASPA). I am honored to join such a dedicated community of educators, students, and parents, and I look forward to working together to continue the tradition of excellence that defines our school.
 
Allow me to share a bit about my background. Over the past 19 years, I have dedicated myself to enhancing educational outcomes by creating supportive, inclusive, and dynamic learning environments where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. As a teacher, I fostered a love for learning and helped students achieve academic success. In my role as an assistant principal, I implemented effective policies and improved school performance. At the district level, I developed strategies that raised academic standards and student achievement. Additionally, I designed and led initiatives that significantly improved math instructional practices across the district.
 
As I step into this role, my primary goal is to build on the strong foundation already in place and to strive for even greater achievements. I am committed to fostering a collaborative and inclusive environment where every student feels valued and empowered to reach their full potential. I believe in the power of community and open communication, and I am eager to hear your thoughts and ideas on how we can continue to make UASPA a place where everyone thrives.
 
Thank you for welcoming me into the UASPA family. Together, we will continue to
make our school a place of excellence, innovation, and joy.
 
Warm regards,

Willayie S M Saygbe, Ed. D.
