Greetings from the Principal

Dear Glenside Families,
It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I write this letter of introduction to you as the new principal of Glenside Elementary School. I am truly honored to become part of this community and I am excited to start the 2023-2024 school year with all of you.
I was a third-grade teacher in the district and most recently spent the last seven years as the Assistant Principal of Millmont Elementary School here in Reading. I look forward to the beginning of the school year to meet my new students and their families. I am planning many events throughout the year that will give you an opportunity to come to Glenside and get to know your teachers and me.
I want you all to know that I work for you and your children and that is something I do not take lightly. I will work hard to earn your respect and I look forward to partnering with you to educate our children.
Sincerely,
Jay Mahoney
Principal – Glenside Elementary School
