Hello Briar Vista Elementary School Families,

I am truly honored and excited to transition into the role as the new principal of Briar Vista Elementary School! It is a privilege to step into this position within a community I have come to know and deeply appreciate during my time as Assistant Principal.

With over two decades of experience in education, my journey as a teacher, Instructional Support Specialist and Assistant Principal has equipped me with a broad perspective and a deep commitment to fostering an environment where every student can thrive academically, socially, and emotionally. Having served Briar Vista Elementary for the past five years, I have had the pleasure of working closely with our dedicated staff, passionate students, and supportive families. This experience has strengthened my resolve to build on the solid foundation we have established together, we will create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment where every child feels valued, inspired, and empowered to achieve their best.

I look forward to getting to know each of you and your children even better. Together, we will create a nurturing and stimulating learning environment where every child feels valued, inspired, and empowered to achieve their best!

Yours In Education,

Mrs. Dyani Robinson

Hello Briar Vista Eagles!

My name is Mrs. Carr and I am thrilled to join the BVE team as your new School Counselor! This is my 12th year as a school counselor.  Previously, I taught 1st grade for 7 years. Before becoming an educator, I worked for DFCS in Child Protection. I attended college at University of Georgia where I earned a Bachelor and Master of Social Work. I returned to UGA to earn my Education Specialist in Professional School Counseling. GO DAWGS! 

Helping children and their families is my passion, and I am so thankful to be part of your village. This year we are going to learn about feelings, friendships, and keeping ourselves safe. I will be teaching SEL (Social Emotional Learning) for Pre-K, Kindergarten, 1st, and 2nd grades.  I will be supporting Mr. Patrick, our part-time counselor, as he continues to work with grades 3-5.  We are here to support your students’ growth socially, emotionally, and academically. I am looking forward to getting to know your children and families!  

When I am not at school, you can find me outside! I love nature - which means I love hiking, camping, kayaking, and chasing waterfalls. On school breaks, I am usually traveling to someplace warm and with a beach! I also enjoy creating art, photography, and trying new cuisines.

I am Carol McGee, your new Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) Specialist.  I bring over two decades of experience working with students and educators in various educational programs, ranging from remediation to acceleration, to the Briar Vista family.

Throughout my professional journey, I have been passionate and dedicated to working with students, educators, and families to provide customized academic and personal success opportunities.  My background in mathematics, instructional technology, and elementary and middle school curricula (EIP, Gifted, and ESOL) has equipped me with a greater understanding of the diverse needs of all learners.  I am deeply committed to ensuring that the MTSS framework at Briar Vista Elementary continues to evolve to meet these needs effectively, providing reassurance and confidence to all stakeholders.

I am thrilled to have the opportunity to work alongside the talented team and stakeholders at BVE.  Together, we will build upon our successes and foster an inclusive environment where every learner feels valued and supported.  Your contributions are essential to our school's success.

Take Care,

Mrs. McGee
