Argyle Middle School Principal

A MESSAGE FROM AMS PRINCIPAL Mr. Gibson

Argyle Middle School welcomes a new assistant principal to our campus with the addition of Mrs. Heather Van Noy.

Mrs. Van Noy comes to us from Guyer High School in Denton ISD where she taught World Geography and was the Geography Professional Learning Community lead at the Freshman Center. Mrs. Van Noy was also the head volleyball coach and enjoyed several deep playoff runs. She had been the head coach at Lake Dallas High School before coming back to her roots at Guyer. I say “return” because she was part of the opening of Guyer as an assistant coach and teacher in 2005.

Mrs. Van Noy brings a wealth of knowledge related to professional learning communities and will work to “coach” our teachers in a different capacity. One of our goals as a campus over the course of the semester is to gain a better understanding of professional learning communities and the positive impact it can have on student achievement.

We will ask her to juggle many different tasks while handling the day-to-day operations – while also finding time to complete “other duties as assigned.” She will be working with students with last names lettered A-K and will be teamed with our counselor Jessica Wade.

We encourage our parents to make her the point of contact on concerns involving students within this part of the alpha.

Mrs. Van Noy’s husband is an educator at Strickland Middle School in Denton. They have 5th grade twin sons (Cason and Jaxson) and a son in pre-school (Hudson).

Please help give a great Argyle Middle School welcome to Mrs. Van Noy. She is eager to get to know our students and parents (even during a pandemic). You can reach Mrs. Van Noy at Hvannoy@argyleisd.com.

As we move into the second semester, we will continue to do what we have done all year long – be flexible.

We continue to have a small percentage of virtual learners. However, we continue to watch students move in and out of quarantine. We have learned much through this process and feel that we are all in a better place for virtual learning now than at the beginning of the school year.

I am amazed at what the teachers are able to do during this very challenging year. Let’s continue to learn from this year and take all that we learn to make next year better. Let’s have a great 2021!
