Administration
Dr. Beth Giller, Principal
860-742-7313
Welcome to CGS! I am Beth Giller and am honored to be the Interim Principal for the 2024-2025 school year. This school year will be my thirteenth year as a Coventry administrator. I came to Coventry twelve years ago to become the new Principal of George Hersey Robertson Intermediate School. During my six years at GHR, I refined and enhanced programs, practices, and procedures to support all learners. I enjoyed my work with children, families and talented staff. Six years ago, I transitioned to the Director of Pupil and Staff Support Services. I embraced the challenge of continuous learning, researching, and redefining our practices to support students, families and staff. Earlier this year I announced my retirement from this position.
One chapter ends and another begins as now I enter into this role at CGS. I chose to delay my retirement to lead the CGS community. I am excited to begin my days welcoming our young students into their learning community. I look forward to meeting families and collaborating with staff to provide a positive educational experience for all. I worked closely with the CGS special education staff over the past few years, and am now grateful to have the opportunity to collaborate with all CGS staff.
I believe that . . .
positive relationships are the foundations of success.
presence and visibility within the community promotes a positive learning environment.
effective and respectful communication among all is imperative.
fostering a positive mindset helps us to look for the good.
This website is one venue for effective communication with families. When time permits, explore the links and return for frequent updates throughout the year. Monthly newsletters will be posted and weekly Messengers will be blasted to CGS families. In addition, feel free to contact me directly at the phone number above.
I look forward to developing strong home-school partnerships. I hope you enjoy this summer and I look forward to this upcoming school year.
Be well,
Beth Giller, Ed.D
