Victoria Scully Is December’s CUSD Classified Employee Of Month

Victoria Scully, Special Education Instruction Assistant at (AOMS), was recognized at the Dec. 14, 2011 Board of Trustees meeting as Carlsbad Unified School District’s December 2011 Classified Employee of the Month. She was nominated by AOMS Principal Megan Coelho and by teacher Kristin Lewis, with whom Scully has closely collaborated since 2005.

Saying that one of Scully’s best attributes is that she genuine cares about each student, the two nominators state, “Victoria supports students in general education and special education classes. She creates innovative materials to help students study for tests, assists teachers in reinforcing instruction in small groups, helps students complete assignments and shows compassion while doing so. Victoria’s support ensures necessary accommodations are being given based on student IEPs. Her expertise is valued by her co-workers and she is well respected amongst our staff.” 

Lewis adds, “Victoria continues to amaze me on a daily basis. She provides support academically and emotionally to students and goes above and beyond her job responsibilities. Victoria is an asset to our school and our District.”

Scully, who previously served as a special education teacher in Illinois, puts her past experience, vast skills and considerable empathy to good use in AOMS classrooms. She says, “Kristin, 2009 AOMS Teacher of the Year, and I work together well. Our fields of expertise are complementary. We’re a perfect fit, working for our students’ benefit. I try to be the aide I never had,” she quips. 

Classified employees of the month are nominated by District administrators for consistently performing above and beyond in the scope of their jobs.
