Meet the Principal
Principal Apryl Thompson
I am honored to be the new Principal at Little Elementary. Little has been my home since I attended Kindergarten. I continued through 6th Grade and continued through the Pomona Pipeline. After graduating from Pomona, I attended the University of Northern Colorado where I studied Human Communication with an emphasis in Elementary Education. I earn my Master's Degree from Colorado Christian University in Curriculum and Instruction with an emphasis in Reading Instruction. At the University of Denver, I studied Educational Leadership and Policy Studies and earned my Principal License.
My husband and I live in the neighborhood with our two children ages 7 and 13. Our son will be in the 8th grade at Pomona Jr/Sr this Fall and our daughter attends Little. When I am not working I can be found being a taxi driver and cheerleader for my children at their activities which normally are softball, baseball, or basketball. In the rare event that there are no kid activities, you’ll find me on my back patio reading a book.
I have been an educator in Jeffco since 2003 as an elementary classroom teacher, and literacy interventionist in Title 1 schools. I also have worked as an Elementary Literacy Coordinator supporting all Jeffco Elementary schools with Literacy instruction. I was thrilled to serve the Little Community as Assistant Principal for the 23-24 school year and I am proud to be named the next Principal of Little.
My goal here at Little is to have a thriving school community where everyone is proud to be a Little Lynx and future Pomona Panther.
In Partnership,
Mrs. Apryl Thompson
